You can take birth control and just throw out the week of sugar pills and go right back on the real ones, I'm pretty sure that skips right over your period.

There is apparently a pill called Lybrel that will skip preiods, but will be on the market only in July.

Want to skip your period?

New hormonal contraceptives on the U.S. market give women multiple ways to skip or shorten their periods:

—Seasonique comes in packs with 84 active birth control pills and seven dummy pills, so it limits periods to every three months. Launched last August, it works the same as predecessor Seasonale, which got cheaper generic competition in September. Made by Duramed of Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc. of Woodcliff Lake, N.J., Seasonique adds estrogen to the dummy pills to reduce breakthrough bleeding and menstrual symptoms.
—Yaz, made by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals of Wayne, N.J., is a low-estrogen contraceptive with 24 days of active pills and four blank ones. Launched last August, it offers shorter, lighter “periods,” milder cramps and prevention of severe PMS.
—Loestrin 24, launched in April 2006, also has 24 active pills and four blank ones. Made by Warner Chilcott Inc. of Rockaway, N.J., it can shorten periods to three days or less and reduce the level of bleeding.
—Implanon, a flexible, matchstick-size rod inserted in the upper arm, stops menstruation in some women but makes it irregular in others. Approved last July, it works for up to three years and contains only progestin, an option for women avoiding estrogen for medical reasons. Maker Organon USA Inc. of Roseland, N.J., says it has sold 3.2 million units worldwide so far.

Some older methods also can eliminate periods:
—Mirena, also made by Bayer, is an intrauterine device that prevents pregnancy for up to five years, reduces monthly bleeding by 90 percent in most women and eliminates bleeding in about 20 percent after a year.
—Depo-Provera, an injection containing progestin but no estrogen, generally prevents menstruation after several months in many women. Now available in generics, it works for three months. Long-term use may thin bones.
Other options are on the horizon. Bayer is testing another oral contraceptive with an extended, flexible dosing schedule and Duramed is developing a lower-estrogen version of Seasonique.

yes there is. alot of birth control pills delay it. also playing lots of sports delays it a little bit.( but only if you have never gotten it before.)

if only someone made a medicine to quit periods forever that person would be rich.

i'd just suggest that you freeze your eggs. i don't knw much but i think by freeezing the eggs, the maturity of the egg is stopped and ovulation is delay until u release it.
