Not getting a period...

But I am thinking of getting a Mirena IUD, which claims to either lessen periods significantly (which would not be bad, in my opinion) or to eliminate them all together.
Eliminating them all together freaks me out a little bit. I am not sure why, it just does not seem natural to me...although the whole situation is a bit unnatural, having that thing in your uterus and all!
I was just curious if anyone else felt this way and how they rationalized it in their mind when they went on any type of birth control that eliminates their period. I am really into getting this IUD, but I don't know if I can say goodbye to my period...if that makes any sense. But my periods are far too ridiculous to get a Paragard. It's pretty much the only thing holding me back from getting one. This lovely mental block of mine!
Thanks!
