Does anybody use it?? Maybe you guys can tell me a little bit more about it.

The patch
-
I did a long tima ago, gained 20lbs, and it has a massivly increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and blood clots compared to the other birth controls, there were law suits and such over it.

Hey honey. :smile:
I still use it right now. I've been using it for over a year. Luckily, I didn't gain a massive amount of weight or suffered any other side effects. And everything internally is alright.
But what Java said is true about the higher increase of risks, so that's something you should consider.
-
I've heard the same things that Java mentioned although I have two friends who use it and love it as opposed to talking the pill.
-
Is it comparable to the pill?
-
Have they tried Nuva ring? That's what I have now, so far I love it way more then the patch
-
I think that the Patch is better than the Pill. But the Ring beats all. I mean, once a month does sound really good to me.
-
what is the nuva ring?
-
Quote: But the Ring beats all LOL, actually the IUD beats all. You replace it every 5 years. But it's only recommended for women who have already had at least one child and are in a monogomous relationship.Oh, and I really would not recommend the patch. I work in a hospital and they sent out a ton of emails, flyers etc. warning against the patch a year or so ago. What Java says is correct.

whats an IUD??
