I took Lo Estrin for 8 years. Its a pill. I had no symptoms at all the whole 8 years. Also, when i decided to stop taking it, no symproms and got pregnant 3 months later on our first try. Just wanted to share my experience with it :)

I had the paragard after my son it's an IUD but it's not like the mirena, it's non hormonal so it has no side effects like regular birth control can give you and you can breastfeed on it. I loved it and plan on getting it again after I give birth!

I didn't notice anything far as mood swings or weight gain. It looks exactly like a bandaid. I use to put it on my butt then replace it once a week. Easiest birth control I ever used!!

I did the patch after my first child. I'm horrible at remembering daily pills. I don't like shots or anything that can be left inside of me. So the patch was the best thing for me.
