ITP and choosing Birth Control methods was created by KatyBug
I am having trouble choosing which birth control method to use. I've had ITP for about four years.. it was getting better, but now my platelets are starting to fall back down into the lower numbers.. I am looking for any suggestions anybody might have. Thank you.

I am on Apri which is an oral contraceptive. It really helps regulate my periods and control the bleeding when my counts are low.
