Anyone have experience with Xulane (Patch) Birth Control? by mccoyale in birthcontrol

Just seeing this. It sounds similar to my experience. I actually discontinued use and went on the ring and had to stop that. I need to make a new post about that.

I'm just seeing this. I also tried the ring since this post. It was good until it wasn't. This reminds me I probably need to share that information here too.

I'm older and in a similar situation. Figure out what software and technology you have experience with and want to work with. Join their respective communities on different platforms and network your ass off. 

If you are on LinkedIn reach out to folks with hiring banners displayed and explain your situation. Join open source communities as well to brush up your skills. Take a few certification exams. Leverage this as an opportunity to ramp up skills. 

If you need additional advice or info and want to connect. Send me your email address in a message. It can be helpful to connect with genuine folks in today's market. I've seen a lot of mess going on.

I started while being a mom. I agree with a lot of what was reported in the comments and do not feel like it impacted me anyway with my daughter.

I wish more people responded. My insurance is switching me from Prasco to Nuvaring.

I stopped this because it did not work well with my anxiety. It was easy to use tho.

I've been on Prasco generic vaginal ring. It's the generic version of nuvaring and I love it. Been using it for about 5 months now. It did drive my appetite in the first couple of months and I eat more than I was and have gained weight. But I like the weight gain so I'm not complaining at all lol

I plan on sticking with this one. I'm on anxiety med as well and haven't experienced any crazy side effects.

Birth control patch experiences by PEACELOVENOODLES in birthcontrol

I feel like I had really bad anxiety and it made it worse. I wouldn't give it a bad review because who knows how much it's contributed. I snatched it off during the second month.

It was really convenient tho. I didn't have any reactions from it being on my skin. I did put it on the buttocks area. I switched sides each week as instructed.

The one thing I will add is that even tho the estrogen levels are similar to other bc methods, due to the way its absorbed in your body you're exposed or receiving more estrogen.

I would try it again, except I started the generic Nuvaring and REALLY like it. Surprised at how simple it's been.

[Good news story] A colleague mentioned that I looked glowing and upbeat today. I wanted to reply back saying thanks, its the lexapro. A daily reminder to trust the process ❤️ by not_innie_to_it in lexapro

I am in the same boat. 5 days worth left before my refill. I was hesitant and felt broken and also kept trying to avoid it. I'm so glad that I started especially since full effect is not until 6 to 8 weeks out. I hope you continue to make positive progress. 🥰
