Owl and Jess, thanks as always. Jess you mentioned that you would be on the ring non-stop... I'm curious about this because I'll be traveling to Africa this summer for 6 weeks and would like to skip my period if at all possible (since I'll be 6 hours' drive from anything modern, including running water/electricity/medical facilities). I'll talk to my doctor about this (campus health care, like Owl), but do you know if I can just "skip" my period for that one month? I'd also like to avoid the nausea I get when going back on the patch after the week off, so this would be ideal for me.
I'd like to compare the actual dosage levels of the ring and the patch, since these seem to be my most viable options right now.
As for SAD... yeah, I've considered it, but I also grew up in Seattle and wasn't really that depressed there! So I think that it has less to do with the weather and more with just my patterns of thinking (postive vs. negative). Working on it in counseling and on my own...
