Sorry but I'm past that age. I wish that I had something to help you with. My tubes are tied. I could never take birth control pills.

Sorry, I don't have any advice since I've never used either. Did he give you any other options? I'm on Ortho-Tricyclen Lo.

Highlands, I think that you should talk to your doctor about going off of your pills. I had my tubes tied after I had my last child so I don't have that worry. You probably wouldn't want a child this late in life so I'd check first.

The usual protocol is no period (none at all, not even spotting) for 12 months means that you are post menopausal (won't get pregnant). But if you are the least bit concerned, then you can have a blood test that shows your level of hormones, indicating whether or not you are post menopausal. It's worth a conversation with your doctor, just to ease your mind.
