FemconFe and other stuff

...Ok, so maybe i should have started this research a LITTLE earlier...

Tomorrow is my first visit to the gyn (trying not to be nervous) and I'm going to be getting a birth control consultation (and hopefully a prescription).

I've had my eye on the nuvaring and femconfe for a while (yeah, i'd really like implanon but i'm pretty sure that's not available here yet)- you'll notice these are all chewable/non-oral options. So while i was looking at femconfe.com, i came across this:

"Appropriate for all body types - According to one study, for women who weigh 155 lbs or more (163 lbs is the average US woman's weight), using a pill with 35 mcg of estrogen, like Femcon Fe, may minimize the risk of pill failure compared with lower dose pills"

What's that mean for 130lb "lightweights" like me? it just confuses me a little bit.

anyone have experiences with my 2 choices, want to tell me stories, etc?

A lot of people have to switch brands a few times before they find one that treats them well. So if you do end up having the same bad time as his family, just keep trying something new until something works. :)
