So, sorry this is long but any advice at this point will help.

I have been on the mini pill for 3 years, I can't take estrogen. So the patch, ring and combo pill are out of the question. That really sucks because I would have loved to have the ring or patch!

Anyways, I was on the shot for 6 months and gained 60 pounds so I will never use that option again. Also had paragard inserted last August it came out a week later. Only partially came out, so may be due to placement. I would possibly get this again but my experience was awful. My cervical opening is smaller than normal so it took my doctor literally 30 mins to measure my uterus then another 15 to place the iud. It was extremely painful, even though I had taken pain killers as suggested.

I guess I don't have a problem being on the pill because I am not forgetful. I don't like having to carry it around and possibly having it not work if you throw up or have diarrhea. In the 3 years I have taken it I have never missed a pill but was late by less than 2 hours maybe 3 times or so. It's just a bummer when you are out with friends or on vacation. Plus I hate going to the pharmacy.

I like having my period and I am pretty regular. Any advice on options? Thanks!
