What is the best birth control? I want to
be on the patch but I don't know how
effective it is? Is the patch hard to get
a hold of?
Thank you arielle

I am taking a cheaper generic form called
mircette, so far so good..
I tried the patch a year ago, and it made
me extremely sick, it might b different
for u though..
The seasonale pill is a pill, where u only
have 4 periods a year

Thank you for the advice.......... So was
the patch hard to get a hold of? Or when
you go to get put on birth control do they
give you choices. Because I don't want to
go on the pill. In the past it's made all
of the women in my family sick. Is the
patch less effective than the pill?
Thank you.

The patch is just as effective as the pill
if used correctly. It is not any harder
to get ahold of, although it may cost
more. When you go to get birth control
(after having a pap smear), they will
suggest a kind. If you don't like their
suggestion, tell them what type you want.
They should give you the patch if that's
what you want.

The patch has the same hormones as the
pill so, you may have problems as
well.But....You will not know until you
try it.Good luck.Patty

Well i'm on yaz - the new low-dose birth
control. It's just as effective as a
higher dosage but not as many side
effects. I've had no problems so far!
The best thing to do is speak with your
gynocologist & they can prescribe
whichever kind they think is right for
you, based on your preferences - good luck
:)
