However, I didn't skip my period all together, so I understand what you're saying.

However, during the last week of the active pills, I started spotting (and of course it's when I had an OB-GYN appointment!) She said this was normal for skipping pills and the next day it was like I had my period full on, a week early. The following month when I went back to using the placebo pills everything went back to normal.

Yeah, the hormone cycle was off. With a Monophasic pill you would have had no bleeding at all. The Tri-phasics will be unpredictable. I haven't had a period going on 3 years thanks to my Monophasic pill.  of course, I take the one designed to go forever with no break.

Free birth control under health law starts today
This is a good thing. The details highlighted in this article are extremely important. I urge people to pay close attention.

Just bringing some people back into reality. If you do not have health insurance, you need to figure out how to access this stuff.

Just joining in this thread. Read a little bit, but not a whole lot since there are 38 pages, but does anyone else use spermicide? I am on the pill and recently started using conceptrol as well since condoms simply aren't working out with my boyfriend (it's not that he doesn't want to wear them, it's that we break 1/3 of the condoms we use).
I dunno, I'm just a bit nervous about it since I have never not used condoms before, and I always like to double up on birth control. I know I am protected, but it's still a bit nerve-wracking!

Buy a better condom. 1/3 break rate is way too high!

And this!
Have you tried using polyurethane condoms instead of latex ones?

Well he needs large size condoms which sorta limits our choices. We have tried a few different kinds, and lube. Still 1/3 breakage :-/
And noooo, I don't even know anything about polyurethane condoms.

Hmmm...there are a lot of different large or modified condoms out there. There are stores, depending on where you live, where you can buy condoms individually, and they have all sorts of sizes.
My experience with spermicide was that I got really irritated. Later on, I read that irritation can lead to increased rates of different infections since the skin is irritated and open. That said, I have really sensitive skin and probably shouldn't use spermicidally-treated condoms, let alone spermicidal suppositories. Also, your partner can develop a sensitivity to spermicides.

Open enrollment time at work has raised some questions.
My birth control did not become free on August 1st because I was under and already existing plan. Based on everything I have read though, it SHOULD be free starting January 1 because I will be re-electing my insurance for 2013 next week. Does anyone know if I am understanding this correct?
I could, you know, probably just HR, but they aren't in our office and won't be hear for the presentation til tomorrow. And I'm impatient.

I'm on depo-provera and I love it! I only gained about five pounds from it.
