Before I got on the patch I was told to try Depro shots, which I did, for about a year and then quit because I had my period near-constantly. Towards the end right before quitting I would have my period 3 months straight. I was like…this is reidiculous. If I had been using it as birth control and not for pain, I sure wouldn’t be having sex! So then he switched me to the patch…because I too, can’t remember taking pills every day. Well, now I’m sure screwed big time since I can’t take anything anymore. Too bad I wasn’t given other options but nothing was around at the time just a few years ago like today…but who’s to say some of the new stuffwon’t hurt more women down the line that we just don’t know about…or more lying drug companies wanting only to make a buck.
