I'm sick of having to remember to take birth control pills. I keep forgetting, messing up on them, and having to start over. So, I talked to my doctor, and he suggested the shot. But, he said there's a 20% chance that I'll bleed the entire three months it lasts. Of course, there's also an 80% chance I won't have a menstral cycle during that three months. So, I wanted to ask people that are on it how it's been working for them? I've heard horror stories about it, but after my doctor suggested it, I'm considering it.
He advised against the patch. He said it doesn't work that well, and it comes off to easy. So I wanted to ask about that too. He may be a doctor, but he never has been and never will be a woman.
I'm asking to hear about your experiences, not about your sister's, your brother's girlfriends, or anyone elses. So far those are the only stories I've heard, but I've never heard from someone who has had a first hand experience with it.
