I am thinking of trying a new form of birth control but am kind of unsure, so i thought i would ask here & get some suggestions ... Back in October, my ob/gyn switched me from Yasmin to Ortho Tri Cyclin Lo, because I was put on an anti-depressant for depression and anxiety, and she thought ortho would work ... So, I actually started to feel good again once the Yasmin left my body, and I actually gave Orth a try up until last month, when i told her I thought I would like to give Yasmin a shot again, because with Ortho, I was getting more cramps, heavier bleeding, and clots, something that I have never had ... So, she said sure, try it ... Well ... big mistake ... Yasmin makes me feel like I want to kill someone and it it affecting me severly, luckily, I go off of them today to start my period.
What is the patch, iud, and ring like?
Either way, I am waiting for her to call me back or I will make an appoitnment to see what she recommends ...
I need something similar to ortho i suppose, where i feel good? and, i hate messing with the hormones in my body ... For some reason, back in August when i started getting depressed, Yasmin decided to quit working for me as well ... and I am going to assume it is more hormonal or the type of pill, but i was on yasmin for 2 years, which is the strange part.
With the IUD, does it cause infertility? My b/f & I would like to have kids.

Thanks,
kim
