_Ladies. Getting off birth control question.

[night marcher01]

Hmmm.. interesting! Thanks for your input. We have an appointment for this wednesday, i'll be sure to ask the doctor about it.

And yeah I see what you mean about not trusting herself, my girl used to be on the pill, she used to take it at night, but then she got a job and wouldn'talways be on time to take it. That's why she switched to the patch, it's easier! But that patch has been wack so far, that's why she changingagain.

Yeah, I've been thinking about getting the shot for a little while now, but I'm kind of afraid of the side effects. I was on yaz for 6 months and recently got off it in March, but I'm thinking I need to get some kind of bc. I really hate taking pills, but are the hormone levels in the shot any different if not higher? I know yaz has some of the lowest hormones but eh!

I'm assuming the shot is high level because it's good for 3 months. Not sure which pill would be comparable in hormone level, not really familiar withany of them - only that some are low hormone and there is a difference between monophasic and triphasic pills but that's about it.

That's what we're looking for, low estrogen dosage. The patch was wack! Let me say that again... WACK!

My girl had to take a month off BC like two months ago. She was like a week late for her period. That was a bad week for me :smh

Low dosage ftw. Yaz was good but the first month I was on it I nearly killed everyone in my path. I'm sure it's different for everyone though.

Aiight so we're going on Paragard instead. Pretty knowledgable and interesting stuffs we learned yesterday. The IUD sound like it worked best for us.
