What Pill?

[Raupe]

Mmmhh, I can't help much either. I'm on Microgynon 30 and so far had no issues with it whatsoever. But then again, I can't compare it to anything else, as I've been on the same one for five years now. Apparently it is quite reliable, as it uses two different kind of hormones. It works in two ways: 1. It stops the egg from maturing and being released; and 2. it alters the lining of the uterus (=thinner lining), making it unfavorable for egg-implantation. Thinner lining also means shorter periods (mine is only 3 days, sorry TMI) and also less painful! YAY to that one! Anyway, that's all I can contribute. Hope someone else can add, so you have a greater choice.

Good Luck

I know nothing is 100% but Raupe that one sounds great i might ask my dr about it on friday!
I think the only way to be safe is to not have sex right?

If you're BF your choices are pretty limited. You can only take the mini pill (progesterone only) as the combined one can mess with your supply. I was on Microlut and wasn't really a fan. I didn't get AF at all (which is good in a way but I am paranoid and don't want another surprise!) and I put on a few kilos.
DS is going to wean soon by the looks of it so I'm getting back onto the combined pill (what Raupe was describing) I was taking before I fell pg...Brevinor I think it was called. Suited me perfectly, no weight gains, bad skin or mood swings! And it eased my period pain and isn't expensive (about $25 per quarter).

The pill is a bit hit and miss, what works for some doesn't work for others. So I guess just start with one and see how it goes.

:yeahthat:

Sorry, maybe should have looked at your signiture didn't know you where bf. Unfortunately combined pills (like mine) can mess with the supply due to the amount of hormones (and the type). Sorry! Maybe just go to your GP and talk about your options. They *should* know best what's out there and suitable for your situation! When I first got mine prescribed they said you can have different pills depending on the reason, other medication and so on. (Apperently you can get one that get's rid of your acne and stuff).

Anyway, again good luck!
