female only Birth Control?

[ChrissyDeex3 14]

Okay so i know a lot of people gain weight being on the pill. But what about us who have had the sleeve? do we not lose weight as fast? Or do we stall? Im a few weeks post op. I stopped taking the pill because i had gained weight...i dont wanna gain weight after working so hard to lose it...so anyone have any advice on that?. I renewed my birth control its a pill called necon...the dr told me i can get other things but like i said i don't want weight gain. So whats everyone taking? Hows it working out for you?

I take "Quasense" which is the generic of Seasonale, and it doesn't cause me any side effects. In the past I had been on Loestrin and Yasmin, both of which had caused some weight gain.

I am on Mirana. No hassles and haven't had any negative side effects. Just make sure if you get it you have insurance that covers it.

i get the shot, i have PCOS which is tiny cysts all over my ovaries that caused super heavy periods and the shot makes you stop aving your period all together. I know that's not what all women are looking for but for me it's great. I have had so side effects, no weight gain, no headaches or cramps. i love it!

Don't you have to keep an iud in for 5 years? And idk which one to get. There's one with hormones and one with out.

I'm on para guard which is an IUD and I love it, no added weight gain or hormones, couldn't stand the depo with all the weight gain and raging hormones, just MHO

Copper iud here, no hormones and no chance I'll forget todo something! The max is 4-5 years but u can have it out anytime!

I'll have mine out as soon as hubby has the snip!

I use Mirena, I have had used it for the last 4 years. No weight gain, no bloating, no mood swings, and the best---no period.

[ChrissyDeex3 14]

i was recently looking into the iud i didnt know it came with a little string...can anyone feel it? Does your partner feel it doing sexual activity?

[Izuri 428]

It's in your uterus, so you shouldn't and your partner shouldn't be able to feel it (Not speaking from experience, but I did look up Mirena quite a while ago). I wasn't aware it had any kind of string though. I thought it was doctor puts in, doctor takes out.
