Talk to me about BC...

[Megan Turnidge]

Alright, I mentioned this in the healthcare thread, but it got me wondering if I could get some feedback from you ladies!

Now that I'm no longer nursing, I wanted to get back on the BC pill. I guess since my insurance is funded by a Catholic organization, they cover VERY FEW BC methods and pills ARE NOT one of them! Kinda' wishin' I knew that when I picked the insurance provider last year. Anyways, I guess they cover the patch. Are there drawbacks to the patch over pills? I worry they won't stay on or won't release the hormones (lol... not sure I can trust it). Are they just as safe? Just as effective? Any feedback?

Thanks!
