Ladies....quick Question!

I've been getting mixed signals regarding birth control and the sleeve and I don't know what to do.

I wasn't on birth control before but I started it one month after my surgery to make sure I didn't get pregnant while I was losing..... They say you become more fertile when you lose weight and I didn't want to take any chances.....

someone just posted about this..

they said that the pill can sometimes not work, because it doesn't digest the same way.. in regards to controlling if you get pregnant or not.. but that it works to regulate your periods..

people suggested getting the kind that are implanted into your arm or shots, too.. personally, i wouldn't get an IUD, but you have that option available to you as well...

of course, there's always condoms.. far less risky to your health to use than birth control (as birth control can cause blood clots and death amongst other bad things that can kill you).. and if you're married & don't want kids, you may look into your husband getting a vasectomy, because it's an out-patient procedure, less invasive surgery than having your tubes tied & can be reversed (well, high chance of it being reverse) should you choose to have kids in the future.
