My new pills aren't working like I'd like them too. I bit the bullet and spent the $70 for one month's supply just to see if they would take away the night sweats. They helped, but not a $70 difference, because in the meantime, my insurance said that they wouldn't cover them. (Insert frowny face, but since they weren't working anyway, I kind of didn't care. But I would have liked to have them backdate to replace said $70)
So, I'm thinking of going a non hormonal route. Kind of be all natural until the hormones have had a chance to even out from baby #3. Plus, I am almost 38, so who's to say that the hormones are just changing due to age as well.
When I called to talk to my nurse about getting fitted for a diaphragm (sp) she laughed and told me that they rarely get requests for those anymore and they pretty much belong in a museum! But, she said they still work and she put me in for an appt in a couple of weeks. She also said that while I"m at the appt. I can see if there is any thing else that I can try by running through all of the options with my midwife.
I had an easier time buying business insurance this past year than I've had finding compatible birth control.

Two tiny words: snip snip.
He'll live, I promise.
Have you thought about an IUD. The Paraguard has no hormones, and works like a charm. Just a thought.
I am sorry for all of your b/c troubles. :( I am sending hugs.
Mostly though, I'm just sitting here with my jaw on the ground that you are almost 38! Karianne! you like like you are 26!!!!
