What Should I ask my Doctor? (Birth Control)?

I'm taking pills (Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo) to stop my periods. I take the three weeks and instead of taking the week of sugar pills, I start a new pack. Problem is my insurance will pay for 2 months in a row, then it is too early for them to pay for it so I would have to pay for it on my own. I can't afford to pay for the one month ($50) Which one of these should I ask my doctor about?

Nova Ring - A nurse at my doctor's told me that you can keep it in the extra week and you won't have a period, that would eliminate the issue of having to get a Rx early and insurance would pay for it all the time.

Depo Shot - 1x every three months, but should stop period after awhile.

IUD - hormonal one, would last 5 to 10 years.

I have fibroids and my doctor says that no matter what I try to do it may not work. Had ultrasound yesterday...see doctor on Monday.

Hysterectomy?

What would you do and why?

Someone ?'nd me stopping my periods. Doctors say this is safe now, insurance doesn't cover Seasonale.

Also, I have kids already and I had a tubal so it isn't like I would be missing my periods or even needing them.

I asked this question elsewhere and a lot of people are under the impression that you shouldn't miss your periods. Please look up Seasonale before you start mentioning that. And my doctor DOES know I am doing this, it's just that my insurance doesn't cover Seasonale yet, too new.

If you've got fibroids, I'd investigate the hysterectomy.

I've got the IUD & love it, but I don't have the problems that you do.

Good luck!
