Birth Control



Recommended Posts

As with most females of age Id assume everyone had to get on birth control for the surgery.. i did anyway hehe

anyways i got this new kind called seasonale its 3 months of pills then you know what i feel kinda weary about going back on BC but i know it has to be done!!

But anyways anyone have any experience with this seasonale stuff?

i was kinda bumed to find out my insurance copays made me pay $90 because it was 3 months worth instead of my normal $30 copay =( but other than that it kinda makes me excited to know that with the surgery my chances of concieving are better!! YEY! (we tried 3 years.. one year on clomid) sooo hopefully ill be able to pop a few lil ones out in a couple years!! =P

My doc told me they originally called the lap-band the fertility band because so many women were getting pregnant after getting the band. I guess that is why some docs recommend birth control until a healthy and stable weight can be achieved. This is one of the major reasons I got the band. WARNING: BOYS LOOK AWAY! I haven't had a regular period since high school and even on birth control to regulate them they were not coming but once every few months. Now with just the small amount of weight I have lost I have become regular again, unfortunately too regular, I got cramps back also that I haven't had in years. I am hoping this means a better chance for pregnancy when I am ready for it since there was no way I was going to start my pregnancy at 275 and chance the health of my baby. When I hit goal or at least close to goal I plan on trying for the first time!

Good luck with you loss and trying for a baby!
