I don't know what your parenting plans are, but:
If you are willing to go on birth control, the Mirena IUD pretty much can eliminate periods for most women. There is also different types of the pill that only cause bleeding like 4 times a year. Your doctor can also prescribe regular birth control pills and have you skip the the non-active pills for a specific number of months or sometimes forever.
Obviously these are options that should be discussed with your physician and not done without their supervision.
I know for me personally, I do not like hormonal birth control as it can affect my libido... however, the Mirena IUD has very little hormone and therefore does not affect me as the pill does.
They do not usually recommend an IUD for women whom have never been pregnant due to possible slippage, however in my research this isn't a problem and most practioners are more than willing to place them. You just need to be a little more vigilant on checking that it is still in place regularly.
I was concerned about problems conceiving after removal, but that doesn't seem to be much of a problem either... my best friend even got pregnant 2 weeks after the removal of hers!
Only problem with the Mirena (don't go with copper IUDs as they can cause heavier bleeding every month) is that it does have an adjustment period for your body... I did pretty much spot for like 3 months straight with heavy periods. However now, I NEVER get a period, and when I do get one, it is only the slightest of spotting for a day or two. So basically that first 3 - 4 months might suck ass, but the benefits of being period free thereafter is well worth it.
I know a lot about medicine, so if you have any questions about birth control (or anyone else reading this) feel free to private message me.
