Ah I hated the patch. They claim its
supposed to stay on all week, but mine
would not stay on for the life of me. I've
never heard anything good about it. Have
you thought about the shot, iud or ring?
Good luck at your appt.

I had the shot once. I bled for 3 months.
Maybe it would be different this time
around. I've thought about the ring. Does
it hurt to have that done?

I hated the patch at first. My skin broke
out, and I got really depressed. I looked
it up and those were common side effects.
I was so depressed that I didn't think it
was worth it to stay on, and was ready to
go off it, but it settled down. My body
got use to it, the depression went away,
and my skin got better than before. After
the initial bad reaction to it, it
actually kept my skin really clear. I
didn't gain weight, which some people do.
After I adjusted to it I really liked it.
It was convenient and easy, and I loved
having clear skin. I like it better then
any other birth control I've been on.

I actually JUSt saw ANOTHER commercial of
the patch claiming the lives of women.
It's NOW 3 TIMES more likely to cause
blood clots/stroke/death than it was a
year ago.
I was on the patch after I had Oni. I like
it, a lot!!
But, I found if you accidentally put
lotion on it, it would fall
off...immedietly!!
Tanya, it would leave that ring/rash
around me too!!! That's the only part that
I didn't like!!

the patch left a red rash on me for weeks.
Blood clots are common in women that smoke
thats y they try not to prescribe it when
they know the person is a smoker.
I had a pap at my 6 wk with macy but had
started my period with Liam so I just got
BC.

note to take it! lol It takes a month for
it to be affective right?

I'm going Wednesday to find out more about
the Paragard IUD. I want something that's
not going to make my period stop & the
Paragard is non hormonal. Only downfall
I've read about it is it can make you
bleed A LOT. Good luck at your check up!

Yea, I wouldn't suggest it to anyone that
smokes!
But, they did NEW research that says even
if you DON'T smoke, it causes
clots/strokes/death!!!!
And I was realllly wanting to get on the
patch after I had this baba!!!
Looks like it's the pill for moi!!

Crap we have to get a pap done?!
God I hate those.
Holly two of my aunts had IUD's... one
hated it because it made her cramp REALLY
bad, and one loved it because she didn't
have any side effects.

pregnant with Liam and I was like um no I
