 I need to get on some.  Hubby and I have always practiced the rhythm method but my cycle is wonky. I've tried mirena and had excessive bleeding so that's a no go. What does everybody use, and do you like it?

I use "lo loestrin fe" which is a normal once-a-day pill. its been great for me. its cleared up my acne and regulated my periods.

 i use implanon.. the one that gets inserted in your arm and lasts for 3 years . and no it doesnt hurt it get it because they numb the area. and i never have to worrying about taking another pill or changing my ring. I LOVE IT .. i had problems with the mirena also

I lost my mirena, it basically ejected itself shortly after surgery. My ob initially put me on Lo lo estrin but was concerned about how effectively it would be absorbed so switched me to nuva ring. Its the first month since surgery I actually had my period when i was supposed to and not every other week!

I lost my mirena as well, had it put in 6 weeks after my daughter was born. We've been ttc #2 since july 2009 without luck, so I have no clue :( kinda frustrating. They did x-rays, ultrasound and no sign of the mirena. My hormone levels are fine, reserve is good, all test have come back good, it just very odd. So weather or not it's all linked I personally wont ever trust the Mirena again.

I'm on ortho-tricyclen (a pill). My surgeon said it was fine as did my doctor. So far so good!

 I love my Implanon!  I am on my second one and had it's predecessor Norplant before.  You don't have to think about it for 3 years.
