The only way to check if I was fully absorbing the pill was to take daily blood levels for a cycle and even that wouldn't be 100% reliable since absorption can vary due to many factors. I am going to call my OB/GYN and ask her about this new patch. >> Jodi: Please share with us what your ob/gyn says on the patch... I'm thinking that perhaps it may be more effective because it wouldn't involve absorption (or lack thereof LOL). I wonder about the Lunette shot, too (it's monthy, not to be confused with Depo Provera). I would be really interesting in hearing what a medical professional has to say on this issue..
