I agree that it's best not to "mess with Mother Nature."

I too took the pill in my 20s, but had to stop for health reasons. I used a diaphragm for the decade of my 30s and then -- at 39 as I recall -- I, too, opted for a tubal ligation.

Best decision I ever made, since by then my docs had told me it wasn't medically wise for me to have any more children.

I suppose birth control of any sort is "messing with nature," but I can't imagine what long-term health ramifications might come from limiting ones' self to only 4 periods a year...

(Besides, my periods were always so heavy and long, I'd hate to think what kind of flow I would have encountered after 3 months!! Yikes!)
