[QUOTE="BeccyB, post: 1437264, member: 196557"] As others have said, the hormones in the different pills and implants can affect us all differently so don't be surprised if the first thing you try isn't right for you. Unfortunately for us we also have the extra consideration of the hormones potentially changing insulin requirements so whatever you try be sure to do some extra tests and keep an eye on things until you get used to it. Personally, I prefer not to have the extra hormones and I use an IUD (or coil as they're often known) that doesn't involve any (there are types that have hormones as well though). If you have a sexual health clinic nearby then I'd suggest going there rather than your GP as they often have more time and information to go through the options with you and help you make an informed choice. Hope you find something that works well for you [/QUOTE]
