I was on the pill prior to my bmt apart from the cycle of Ivf I had to do yo freeze embryos (god the older women don't know how good they've got it doing this stuff later in life!), but I'd been on those for years so my dr just said to take them back to back. Since my transplant they've had me on Norethisterone to stop my periods (but it is not a contraceptive) so as to not affect my counts. I've not had any side effects from them so for me it's been great - so much less hassle than periods and the pill - I'd take it for
life if I could!
