I then did not use any form of bc since I wasn't having sex again until January of 2003 when I went on the NuvaRing, I LOVED it except for a UTI problem, so my doctor suggested I try the patch to see if the UTIs were because of the ring.
Now I started the patch on the first day of my period, had my period all the way through the first patch which was odd since I am normally a 4-5 day girl and then the blood flow continued through my second patch, I am not talking btb so much as lots of crap coming out when I pull out the tampons and a continuos heavy flow for me (2-3 SUPER PLUS tampons during the day) so tonight I took off the darn patch and called my poor doctor frustrated beyound belief since I am going on Vacation April 1 and WILL cancel my vacation if this bleeding thing has not gone away.
She suggested I take off the patch and is looking into BCPills again but this time something called Yasmin for me to start this sunday...I am really anxious about doing the whole bcp thing again because of my past history with the pill...could someone give me feedback on how Yasmin is affecting thier body, also if anyone could give me feedback on other pills to try that will wreak LESS havoc on my body and make me less miserable.
I am still considering the NuvaRing just because that seems to have caused me the least amount of problems and I was just trying something different to see about my UTIs but have no basis of comparison since I have been UNABLE to have sex with my LONG term boyfriend since this whole bleeding thing. I really wanted to see if the UTIs are because of him(although we do use condoms as well as just the ring and I was still getting UTIs)since this whole bleeding fiasco...OK I am done with my rant, will be looking forward to responses. Thank you!

I'm sorry things are rotten! :\
On the UTI note...were you doing anything to try to prevent UTI's while you were using the ring?
Good luck and I hope you don't have to cancel your vacation!
