female only Birth Control.

thankfully not something I have to worry about anymore since when youngest #3 was born I Had signed the paperwork to get my tubes tied after the C-section. But I did birth control pills from 16 to 21 which worked well for me but because of my cholesterol levels they took me off them.

I Went through a period of using the sponge for a few years and I gotta say unless you have a steady partner willing to also use a condom DON'T lol. My ex REFUSED to wear condoms at all and my first 2 kids came from the sponge. I just hope if it is comming back on the market it has been improved. I wish at that time there were better options like there are now. But at the time it was pill, IUD which had TONS of complications, sponge, diaphram and condoms. So kmany better options now.

I never had a problem taking my pills daily since I left the container on my bedside table and my foster mom would ask me at Breakfast if I took it. After the first month I never forgot it.

I never had a problem remembering to take it either. I can't remember to take my Vitamins or anything else, but I can remember that pill!

I was on Yaz before I decided to get my IUD and it made my periods (and me) crazy. I much preferred the patch or the ring (tried those, too). My husband and I decided we didn't want any more kids for a while, so I got the IUD because it's nothing to think about for 5 years. :biggrin:

I just want to remind everyone, to remember that no bc is 100% effective (I know we all know that but :-). My SIL got pregnant on the pill and I have had 2 friends get pregnant with an IUD. One had twins...oy!

One of my coworkers is on yaz and she thinks she is pregnant. She is about 3 weeks late.
