juno5 30 Posted June 25, 2015 Tonight at my seminar we were told they want women on 2 types of birth control...ok. So I tried the merina which made me go insane and depressed ..and gain even more wgt! I gave it a full year and then had it removed this past March. I don't do well with hormones...so any suggestions? I don't want anything implanted in me ever again like the IUD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hisbrowneyedgirl 175 Posted June 25, 2015 I was going to do the patch, but cannot take Tylenol with that product. Sleevers already can't do Ibuprofen, take Tylenol out, nothing would be left! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lovexciaral 38 Posted June 25, 2015 I hated the mirena as well. I was on the pill which I was actually enjoying. I recently stopped because I had skin removed. I plan on going back on it soon. As a teenager I used depo (the shot) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hisbrowneyedgirl 175 Posted June 25, 2015 Sleevers can't do Ibuprofen! I was shocked when my surgeon told me. I took Alieve daily. Now it's just Tylenol. I did Depo for three years. It caused me to stop having my cycle for the entire time, which caused PCOS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jess9395 5,449 Posted June 25, 2015 Can't speak to the birth control, I took care of that after my two kids! But check with your dr about ibuprofen, not all of them say never again, depends on your level of acid for one. My dr says no maintenance ibuprofen for anything long term, but I can take it once in a while for a headache or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xxjosettexx 72 Posted June 25, 2015 Non-hormonal copper IUD, it's called paraguard. It's like the mirena but there is nothing hormonal about it! Then for your second method just use condoms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
majorsmama 91 Posted June 26, 2015 Eek! If my surgeon would have insisted on using birth control, I would have had to find a different surgeon! I can manage my own fertility without the use of birth control lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FocusOnMeNow 599 Posted June 27, 2015 You should have no trouble with the patch and it has absolutely zero interaction with Tylenol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
