I think she may have changed you to a lower dose, so even if you take 2 it would still be lower than the other rx youw ere taking.

Have you ever consodered an iud?

I cannot tolerate hormones and use an non hormonal iud, and many more women are turning to hormone free methods.

I was on 2 a day for a while and it doesnt have any "bad" effects on you really. The only thing u have to watch for is extreme moodiness after a few months bc that was my big problem and the lack of interest in sex ... I didnt have a problem with thei but my fiance did ... Guys. She might have put u on 2 bc of ur weight or if she suspects other things are going on. I was on 2 bc my hormone levels were really high after I had my son so taking 2 kept me from bleeding all the time but im sure ull be absolutely fine. Hope that helps.

Oooh thank you guys so much. Yeh the other one was making me depressed and bloated and stuff.... So I asked to be changed. She didnt really explain herself properly tbh.

I discussed the coil with her and I dont like the idea of it. Its... I dunno something I dont think I could bring myself to do. I think id rather feel crappy with the pill. Xxxx
