I'm still ambivalent about spawn, too. Until then, I recommend a Mirena IUD - the whole idea skeeved me out initially, but I've had one now for over two years and have had no periods and no PMS. It's pretty much the best invention ever :)

I have a really great PCP and I knew she wouldn't recommend anything bad for me. And it has been phenomenal :) good luck either way!
