I have had to come off the pill as it was giving me thrush on a monthly basis, I would like to go on some other form of contraception and am interested in the implant. My friend has it and says its good. i would just like some other peoples oppinions on it, and how does it affect your periods?

My doctor advised against it. She said several doctors were actually getting sued because the scars they leave behind. I thought it sounded like a great idea, but in the end I would have had to switch doctors if I wanted it.
I have used the patch, but recently there has been very bad press about it. I guess it has a higher risk of blood clots then most. It was my favorite out of all the ones I have tried.
The injection I had a reaction to. Ended up with my period for months and months. So that didn't work out.
Right now I am on the ring. It is pretty good. You have it in for three weeks then out for one. I liked the patch better, but the ring is just fine!!
Hope this helps!!

If you suffer from PMT, then it will turn you into a homicidal psycopath.
Seriously.
Not the best form of contraception.
How about the injection?
The thrush may not come from the pill, but may be from your partner. You still need to use condoms.........
Both partners need treating.
Are you sure it's thrush and not Chlamydia........?

There is one called minera that is placed inside you and will work for five years......there is another i just forgot what it was called and it works for ten years...the minera is plastic and the other is made of i think copper.....they r T shaped and release birth control medicine in to your body....there are also other alternatives than the pill like the depo prevera shot that u get every three months......

I have had friends whch have had it, and some have been great with it. but i know of 2 girls who had problems. The main reason being bleeding for long periods of time. You can try it, and see if it suits you

I have been told its good as it lasts a long time, but it stops your periods.

. . . apparently Super-Glue between the knees is quite effective with very few side effects . . .
