It wouldn't bother me to not have a period but as far as I know, it wouldn't be good health wise. So my goal is to take PM for as many days a month as I can without skipping periods.
You don't need your period if you aren't trying to get pregnant. It's just to prepare your body for a baby pretty much. It's why they make birth control meant to stop your body from having your period, you don't need it. It's not bad for you to not have your period. But if you want your period you need to still do the half cycle so you don't mess up the hormones that will allow you to get your period on time.
