i've used a few different things. i've
used the nuva ring, ortho evra patch,
ortho tri cyclen lo pill, and seasonique
pill (off brand of seasonal pill).
pills - take every day (hormone levels are
diffrent in all pills) since you said you
don't like to miss your period i wouldn't
recommend taking seasonique or seasonal as
they cause you to only have 4 periods a
year. but i really enjoyed ortho tri
cyclen lo. it's a low dose of hormone and
as for me i never had any bad side
effects. always got my period on time with
it too.
patch - change the patch every week. 3
weeks on 1 week off. i've been using this
now for the past 4 months. i never had any
really bad side effects that i know for
sure. it takes me about 3 to 4 days off
the patch to get my period, and my period
is a lot lighter normally 4 days long, but
i still get cramps sometimes. one thing i
do have to make important is that the FDA
made stronger warnings on the ortho evra
patch.

RING- take once a month. i used this a
little while ago but stopped because i
though i was allergic to it. turns out
it's the condoms. lol anyways easy taking
it. you just put it in yourself. leave it
in for 3 weeks and take it out for 1 week
(when which you'll get your period) i
found it very easy and nice. i heard a lot
about being able to take it out during sex
which i think would be nice. oh and most
importantly! this is the birth control
with the lowest amount of estrogen give in
to the blood stream. which is good.
for one thing the warning label on the
ortho evra scares me and i'm going back to
the nuva ring. hope this helped you. oh
and take a look at these websites for the
birth controls i mentioned. they can help
some what. if you have any other questions
just ask.

oh and remember there is way more then
just this out there. look around the net
and talk to your doctor. you'll find
something just right for you. good luck!
