A member asked:
If i couldn't take the birth control pill because of breakthrough bleeding could the patch be a good substitute? i don't want implant/shot

Breakthrough bleed: The patch maybe a good alternative for you. Breakthrough bleeding is usually due to a imbalance for your body of the ratio of estrogens/progesterone. Trying different dose pills or trying the patch may be a suitable alternative.
