female only Birth control after syrgery?

[pookybear 284]

What has everyone tried? What seems to work best/worst? I was on the pill and have already stopped it as I'm getting close to approval time. I know I can't go back on the pill. I definitely don't want an IUD, I don't like the idea of something permanently planted inside me. Not sure I'm comfortable with Implanon either. I'm thinking Depo shots, but I still need to talk wit my doctor about it. I can't wait to get back on something. My boyfriend and I both hate condoms. Also, how long do you have to wait to have sex post op?

I have a new iud thats out. Its non hormonal so it wont make your periods worse or better and it wont make u gain weight. Its 10year birth control and can be taken out at anytime. Iud is not perminant. Its like the best one out there. And it is as affective as having ur tubes tied but if u decided one day u wanted a baby u just have it taken out. It takes like 5 min to put in.

When i told my doc i was thinking about getting the surgery it is the one she recomended

I don't know....I've heard so many stories of people that have had issues with them slipping out of place, etc.

Well u have to check it after every period to make sure it didnt move but its a personal desition. The main reason i got it is because it doesnt make u gain weight like alot of birth controls do. And i dont have to take a pill or get a shot. But everyone is different. I would talk to ur doc about which would be best for u. And remeber if u dont want to get prego that bad u may want to use a condpm an birth control. Ive had many friends get prego with many differnt forms of bc

I know this is the powder room, this thread just popped up on the app for some reason, however, my wife, as well as a few o her friends who used depo when they were younger, have suffered from long term side effects. 1 of the girls who is 32 is already going through menopause. My wife cannot get pregnant again, we've been having unprotected sex for 7 years. Luckily we were blessed with a daughter before all this happened. And now my wife goes a long time without getting her periods.

I'm sure there are side effects with any form of birth control, I just figured I would share what I do know about the depo. Best of luck.

....and as far as sex after the surgery, my doctor said it should be comfortable for your abdominal region, for it to be okay. If it's uncomfortable, wait......

Im still on the pill 2 months post op and am doing okay. My doc said not everyone has issues absorbing. I also had sex 2 weeks post op. Whatever u are comfortable with.

U would be careful, there are a lot of women who ended up pregnant this way.

I used depo after my daughter was born and stopped them about 2 years later when we wanted to have another baby. It took me 2 years to get pregnant...my kids are almost 5 years apart. I have horrible periods that never stop. I've had the mirena IUD and I love it. I've had no problems.
