Another question!
| Sun, 06-27-2004 - 8:12pm |
First off thanks for the advice on my Depo question I posted the other day.
At my appointment Thursday my doctor put me on Ortho-Tricyclene(or however you spell it). Ok...how soon is it effective?? I thought it was good after the 1st week. But she said I won't be covered until I finish my first cycle. So...do we need to use back up bc until I finish my first pack or am I still covered with my shot??
She also mentioned the IUD. Are the hormones in the Mirena IUD the same as the shot?? I'm considering getting an IUD instead of the pill. Something has me worried that I'll mess up taking the pill, and end up with another kiddo(something I don't want right now). Also...the copper IUD, do they always make your period heavy?? Or is that what happens with some women, but not all??
Thanks ya'll!!
Michelle

I had a referral put in from my regular doctor to go see a gyn. Hopefully I'll be able to get some more answers then.
Thanks again.
