I didn't mind the patch, the worst part was after a week it started peeling a little and get linty and a little gross looking, got use to it though. It made me hormonal, but all birth control does that. So we use condoms. I heard in the next year or so they will be introducing male birth control, it's one shot a year and you start shooting blanks for over a year - just in the process of testing now on humans and it's reversible if need to! I can't wait for male birth control

Aw man! Haha I mean I was just trying to experiment to see what's gonna work but thank you so much for sharing. I wanted to get the pill but I have fibromyalgia and I've been doing some research. I read hormone birth control may worse my symptoms but the dr said there's no evidence it's related. Haha! I just thought that was so basic to say. I'm just tired of filling my body with things that aren't good for it. Especially bc. It's not easy to switch up all the time. But I do feel a lot better without the Mirena! Thankfully.

I liked the pills more then anything! I have nothing bad to say about them. But u cnt forget to take them.

I hated the patch I used it in my teen years! Haha

But really it made me feel very sick when I first put it on. then taking it off took some skin with it. N the week u go with out it it made me feel very week I hated the patch with a passion!!

It also made my hair come out.

I got it taken out today. I couldn't handle the pregnancy symptoms and being worried what if because it's not easy to track periods. I also had spotting before and after my 1st missed period or also known with Mirena as irregular bleeding. It just wasn't worth it for me. We don't even have a lot of sex. He's always tired so maybe once a week if I'm lucky. I just picked up the patch but I'm going to do more reading up on it before I use it because Drs at the hospital I go to treat us like cattle and don't explain things to us in depth. If I'm not on the patch we'll have to use condoms. Eh. They're worse things haha!

I was afraid of the other forms of bc mostly because of hormones and something being inside of me that shouldn't be. If you anyone has input on birth control I'd like to hear it :) Or if you have the patch.

I had a period with mirena for a few months and then it just stopped. I just recently took my mirena back out to TTC and still no AF after two months. I think irregular periods is very normal on mirena.

I had the mirena before ttc my guy and I didn't have a period either all normal.

I had it before (iud) and I had a period for a year then it just stopped. But that iud says ur periods may stop all together.
