Well I too had problems with the Mirena. It caused a cyst on my left ovary and I was having infections once a month. Then when I finally went in to have it removed, they said it had moved. So I don't trust the IUDs and wouldn't recommend them to anyone. I tried the shot for a year and had horribly heavy periods for two weeks out of the month. The pill works, if you can remember to take them every time. Don't know about the patch or ring, it sounds like something I might check into. But what my husband have been using for the last eight months is just the condoms. It's been working so far. What ever you choose, good luck on your decision.
I 'm not good at the pill either, have a latex allergy(rules out condoms, diaphragms, etc, bad reactions to the spermacides. But alas, the Nuvaring, love it, only have to put it in once a month, and forget about it. My husband didn't seem to notice a difference. You do have to be ok with touching your own private parts. lol. Good luck
Hi.. I love the Nuva Ring! It's so easy to put in and you don't have to worry about it! I actually leave mine in for 4 weeks and then just change to a new one. I don't have periods anymore and it's awesome! My gyn tells me this is totally safe. Good luck!
thank you to everyone for your input! it realy gave me a lot to think about. i am thinking i will try the ring next and if that is still too much for me i am going to take one persons advice and try for the cervical cap thing. thanks again!
