Birth Control Problems!



Recommended Posts

I take seasonique. I used to be on drop and loved it. But my surgeon says no depo bc of weight gain and hormone issues. If they make you sick try to take them at bed time.

I just went to my obgyn on Monday and she put me back on NuvaRing. Didn't want to do an IUD because I haven't had children and didn't want to do Depo because of weight gain. I have taken NuvaRing before and she thought that was the best option for me post surgery.

About the NuvaRing.....isn't it awkward to insert? And do you feel anything? Can it slip out or be felt during sex by either person? I'm starting Depo at the end of this month but want to be prepared with a back up plan in case I don't like it.

I also had the nueva ring. Not really too bad to insert and then you don't really feel it. The only downside is that my bf said it made me taste weird down below.

Me too! But if the shot doesn't work for me it would be my only other option. Definitely not doing an IUD or Norplant.

If the nuvaring does come out while you're doing the nasty, you have 3 hours to reinsert it so its not a huge issue. I cannot feel mine, can't even tell its there, it's rather odd!!!!

Yes I chose because it is so dangerous if you become pregnant in the first 18 months because your hormones are crazy and you lack nutrients.

Poorly bear when you insert it I empty a tampon holder and intern it into the empty case and then use that... No mess no fuss and no struggle

I've been through Alesse and Seasonale but both gave me Migraines and killer mood swings. I just chucked the pill and am going to take my chances with mother nature. I feel better already. I'm 39 and will be paying off the fertility treatments for my 4-year-old for years. I can't quite believe that I'll suddenly turn up pregnant.

Haha! That's what I said. After being infertile for 13 years I got pregnant. 12 weeks pregnant and 13 weeks post op.

Yes ladies, find the method that works best for you and gastric bypass. My pill failed and even tho I'm happy to finally be having a child after 13 years of infertility, it's a hard and exhausting road that no one should have to go through so close after having surgery.

I've been infertile for so long I forgot that BC will be an issue for me again after I have surgery. Do they still make the birth control patch? I just don't like IUDs or implants.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
