advice
I'm searching for a good birth control method to use. I have taken Ortho Tri-Cyclen, and Depro Vera before, and would not be incredubly unwilling to try them again. The problem is that I have a very hard time remembering the pill each day, and I have heard bad things about the shot. Such as: weight gain, increase in discharge... and I find it hard to believe that it is healthy to go through your life without having your period.
I know that this should be a question for my gynocologist, but I could not get an appointment for another month or so. I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on a good method of birth control. Perhaps some good and bad experiences you have had?
Of course, older columnists prefered.
Well there is the new birth control patch which will help you not forget, but that comes with the downside taht you can see it! It doesn't really matter if you do find an alternative method before your appt. tho. You'll need a perscription anyways.
Ok, Sorry! I was just saying that incase you thought that it didn't need a persciption! But u didn't! It's just taht earlier u didn't say how old u were or anything!
(Rating: 4) The point of finding alternative methods now is so that I will be able to talk to my doctor about those specific methods. Instead of going there and only knowing about the two methods that I've already tried. You will soon learn that doctors don't always tell you everything until you ask them about them first.
