    Default My Birth Control Patch

    What should I do about my birth control patch...I usually wear it on my butt, and it is about 2x2 inches...I can't take it off ever, unless we (my fiance and I ) go insane and decide to have a litter. Another quick question...I live in ATL and will clubs front you money or help you get a license? 300 dollars!!! I have only 50 dollars to my name currently!

    Does it have to be down by your butt? what if you put it behind your neck, under your hair? Honestly, I don't know much about the patch, so I don't know if there's a place it's supposed to go - i favor the pill...but if you have long hair it could hide it ???

    *laughs* I was on the patch for oooooh, a week. Cowgirl + patch = bad I guess. The thing sucked! It got lint all around it from my clothes, started to unstick, got stuck on my clothes and then pulled on me. Blech!

    Funny thing is, when I got it I was like, "Damn, now I can't be a stripper!"

    Try the Nuvo-ring. It's soo easy, slip it in, three weeks later, pull it out! Ta-da! I don't think you can wear the patch anywhere it doesn't show.

    For the record, I was told the patch is just as effective as the pill with "perfect use." Odds of the patch being used perfectly are a whole lot better than the pill. Planned Parenthood probably has the stuff on their web site.

    Too bad they pulled Lunelle off the market, it was a once a month shot.

    I'm just a poor girl who gets gnarly cramps and far from an expert.

    love and cookies!

    Default Birth Control

    I know not all birth control are good. But what is a good birth control product to use other than the pill, or condoms.
    And please don't say abstinence...lol.

    The little ring is awesome! You only have to deal with it to put it in, then take it out three weeks later. So long as you aren't afraid to *gasp* put your fingers in yourself. It's awesome for me, princess forgetful.

    Depo sucks. Sucks sucks sucks! It can make you spot, bleed for no good reason, etc. Some girls have great results, and end up never having periods, others don't. Some girls go aggro, and all get pretty fat. Plus, you're stuck for three months! Lunelle was once a month, but got pulled from the market for dubious reasons.

    If you've had a baby and are monogamous, intra-uterine devices can do the trick. Also, Norplant is a 3-4 (I think) little match size sticks inserted under your skin in the arm and they work for 5 years!

    But yeah, the little plastic ring is your friend. You have to keep them refridgerated, so once a month you have a "coochie-sicle."

    What about the new ring inside the vagina? Nuvaring. You replace it every month. and no one sees.

    I have an IUD and I've never had a baby. However, it hurt like HELL going in and for a while after and I've only just stopped bleeding after three months...(Yeah, 3 months of bleeding) However, it is supposed to slow or stop bleeding after 3-6 months and I can't even feel it's there now.

    you can also wear the patch on your abdomen, that can be covered by a thong if placed right. If worn in the right areas (back, butt, abdomen) by a women who weighs less that 180 the patch is just as effective as the pill and less likely to be forgotten. too bad it gave me an awful rash

    Never explain yourself to anyone, because the person who likes you doesn't need it and the person that dislikes you won't believe it.

    I have had an iud for almost 4 years now since the arrival of my second little one, I have never been happier with a birth control device, nothing to remember, no creams, shots, or side effects.
    a little discomfort when it went in, but not much more discomfort than a regular exam, and no 'pain'.
    My girlfriend got hers last year, (never had kids) same story, no bleeding after a day or so, she loves it too.
    we are both 27ish if that matters

    Bunny I might get a second opinion on those problems you are having, I didnt have any bleeding at all, but I always believe that male GYNs are more gentle than female GYNs..just my opinion.
    As I have matured,I have learned "that one good turn....usually gets most of the blankets",-)

    Suggestions regarding the Patch? Do like one girl I know did with her nicotine-patch:
    Screw trying to cover it. Decorate the damned thing with sparkly stickers. Sure people will ask what it is. You can either grin and tell them truth, or you can work up a smart ass response. Either way, most people can't do much but grin.

    Smurfie... Regarding Lunelle...
    I can tell you a couple of reasons why it probably got pulled. First of all, there are the people like myself who took it, who swore by it, and now are finding out their fertility may be fucked from taking it. To give you alittle idea why this may be, I found out after the fact that Lunelle is the same thing as Depo-Provera - same maker even - and was just reduced in dosage enough that it was once a month instead of every three months. This may be something that was introduced because of the fact that Depo use was seriously falling off courtesy of all the health problems it was causing women. Anyway, now that i am in Canada and still having Lunelle-related female problems 9 months after I stopped using it, I have found out it never even made it on to the Canadian market. Nobody here has ever even heard of it.
    The second thing was that initially Depo and Lunelle shots were recalled early last year, and the only notice really give about it was something about how the manufacturer could not guarantee the sterility of lots produced after some point in March 2002. That was almost immediately after they switched from distributing it in single vials that you took to the doctor, to distributing it in single-use pre-filled hypodermics. Recently, I was doing some reading (I think it may be in this month's Self magazine, but cannot be certain), and found out that several states started learning aorund that time of drug distribution companies that were screwing with medications before they were sending them to drug stores. They were faking drugs, diluting drugs, relabelling drugs, etc. Apparently, it's a pretty common profit boosting scheme, and there is no real regulation and prevention of this enforced by the FDA. Some states that had multiple large raids are now trying to institute state-sponsored mandates to prevent it, but the companies just move somewhere they can continue their activities.
    What this means is that each time you get that syringe of what you think is Lunelle, it may potentially be diluted (and less effective), mislabeled, or something else altogeher. And you have no way of knowing unless something unusual occurs. Are the recall of Lunelle and the surfacing of these schemes related? I don't know, but it seems like a pretty evil coincidence in my opinion....

    Either way, I am about to have to start taking the good old fashioned Pill again in an effort to get my body back to normal. It took a while, but it worked after my Depo-Provera stint. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it works this time.

    A co-worker of mine wears her patch in her bikini area. She was constantly shifting her thong to cover it so she recently moved it to her back.

    I was standing by a customer while she was on stage and he said "I didn't know you could wear your stop smoking patch on your back"

    Hey, you may as well ask the client to put on a condom the next time you have sex.

    Oh, this is great! I was just about to ask the same question.
    I tried the depo shot... I gained 50 lbs
    I forget to take those stupid pills, I've been on the patch for about 10 mths, the only problem I've had it lint. It'll get a little black ring around it like when you were a band-aid for too long. I found that you can use baby oil to wipe that off though.
    I like the idea if little glitter stickers and stuff.
    I figured I could just tell people I was trying to quit smoking. I think it may be feasible to use a little makeup to make it the same color as the surrounding skin? What do you think?
