I'm Currently Feeling:  | lol, I'm only a few miles south of you Arcanegirl, lol, I'm in Newcastle...well, maybe a bit more than a few miles.
The patch is called Evra, you whack one on once a week, and change it weekly, and have a week break.
I was on it when it first came out, I hated taking pills and didn't want the jab | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Yvanne, id say the mirena coil is most reliable, im working in day surgery at the moment and they do it for girls under a general anethetic (sp)!
Unfortunately you really have to stick with it for 3-6 months as it can take that long for things to settle down, irregular bleeding etc but thats not the case for all woman ! Once things have settled down most woman find it brilliant as they dont have periods at all, plus it can be kept in for 5 years ! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | How are you at keeping track of things? I can't use any kind of hormone based contraception and I can't get the coil as I get painful periods. I did a lot of research into natural family planning and bought myself a persona machine from Boots. I combined daily monitoring of my tempature with the persona for 4-6 months succesfully before we decided to have a baby. If you keep it up properly, it's about 98% effective. | | | | Status: Online

I had it fitted after Kayleigh was born, then changed as and when up until I had it removed after our honeymoon. But, I didn't have it done under any kind of aneasthetic. And it's not painful at all, more just uncomfortable. But no more than a smear. I swear by it, and will definitely be getting another once we've stopped popping sprogs out!! | | | | Status: Offline
