Q: My New Birth Control.....

Hey everyone. I went to the doctor yesterday for my 6 week check up. We talked about birth control but she really wanted to put me on either the patch or the pill. She didn't really want to put me on the shot because I have a bad history of depression and that is one of the side effects. So what she did was put me on a mini-pill birth control called errin. Has anyone used this? I started taking them at 9:30 last night and about 1 my throat felt dry and sore....Is that normal? Well anyways she said if I do good on these she will put me on the shot in august when I go back fo a pap smear. She kind of worried me......Do you think I would be better off switching to the patch instead? I have to wait until I am done breast feeding though because she said it can dry up you milk supply. What do yall think???

No the patch isnt that good really. I was on it after sean and it didnt do me very well. The lint lfrom your clothes gets stuck around it and makes it look nasty. When I switched it from my butt (you have to put it in a new spot each week, like switch off, so I put it on my shoulder and I was swimming and the freaking thing fell off.. I think that you should go on a pill. After I had sean I went back on what I was on before ortho evra. Well that messed with my stomach so I am now on ortho tri cyclin lo.

Good luck

Lol thats funny cuz for me it never fell off even if I scratched it or showered or anything. Its different for all people so take what you want. I couldnt get on the pill cuz I forget easily and I would have forgotten to take it lol

Thing is stacie, I didn't wanna be on the pill cuz I can hardly remember to take my pills everyday, let alone the same time. But I am gonna try and be good about it. Ill carry them around in my purse if I have to.
