As far as I know, not eating has to be for quite a long period before it affects a woman's periods.
A much easier way, which has been known for a least 50 years to my knowledge, is to take the birth control pill without a break. Being decades past needing birth control, I don't know if it works with the newer lower dosage pills but it certainly used to work with the older high dosage ones. I'm going back to the 1960's, when it was quite common for women to do this so they weren't bleeding on their wedding day or during the honeymoon, and it was also done by athletes facing competitions.
It's quite healthy to miss periods: the period you have while on birth control pills is only a withdrawal bleed anyway, not a true period.
And when she finally decides to have a kid(s) won't that prolonged use of the meds affect the health of her ovaries and consequently the health of her offspring?
As far as I know it has no impact at all. I was o various hormonal contraceptives for about 12 years and then had no problems conceiving lots of healthy children.
I don't know if any research has been done into this possibility, but if there has I haven't heard of it. If you have, please share it.
I was on the old high dose pill for about 10 years way way back when it first became available in the early 1960's and had no trouble conceiving when I went off it, in fact I didn't even have a real period before I became pregnant. I knew other women who had the same experience.
As to longterm effects, I've had none and I'm now in my early 70s. I did have side effects from the old high dose pill, which in those days used to be put down to being "all in the mind", but as far as I know the low dose ones don't usually have those effects.
When you think about it, in the past women had far more children and therefore fewer periods and they also breastfed for long periods, which can prevent ovulation, so missing some periods is unlikely to be harmful and in fact may be beneficial.
