Bp and birth control

After 5 kids I got snipped…then no sex then a divorce…guess it had a negative affect…but a relationship should be based on something other than sex anyway

IUD 8 years now

Pull ou is not birth control btw

no its not ask my BF friend he has two lovely boy because of it

Yup

Implanon. Implant in my arm between my bicep and tricep.

I do not deal well with birth control. It sets me into rapid cycling b*tch mode. I know there are some other options out there now, but I'm always worried it will make things worse. However, if I were to become pregnant again right now, I would absolutely freak out. My 10 month old is a handful as it is. Even my mother-in-law asked if I was going to be on birth control after my daughter was born. I've also heard some horror stories about my friends birth control methods. I certainly will never try Depo!

you have to do something. you cant leave it up to fate

We use condoms, it's just scary that they're only 97%? effective.

and thats if they are properly used. do you plan on having any more kids?

I really don't know. I would like my daughter to have a sibling, but if she's anything like me, she'll need all the attention and love I can possibly give her. Hoping she gets her daddy's genes and enjoys a life free of mental illness. I also question my ability to balance another child. I'm wonderful with kids, and have worked with them my entire life, but I've always been able to give them back at the end of the day.

So right now, I'd have to say no, no more kids, but I can't guarantee I'll feel that way in a few years.

I get that

I also can't do anything hormonal, because it causes tremendous anxiety and panic issues for me. Right now, I'm lucky enough that my boyfriend has had a vasectomy so I don't have to worry about my own bc.

thats the way to go

Agreed! Paragaurd IUD is best choice, I've been on it 2 years, no problems.

I don't use any as I'm not married yet, so I don't have sex. But when I do get married I would use the pill.

I have the implant in my arm Its the only one that doesn't send me loopy!

I can not take anything hormonal. Anything hormonal totally throws off my mood stability. I can't have an IUD because I've never had children, so when I tried one it was a very bad experience. I use a non hormonal barrier method.

Ive never had kids and i use an iud

I have physical problems with most birth control types so for me is a tedious trial and error. My last iud settled too low in my uterus and began to puncture the lining. Pills make me not be able to eat or I forget them. And depo makes me very ill. I just wish that b/c was not a factor in all of this. Feels as if something has been taken from me…like its no longer my choice but my doctor's

I'm sorry you can always try diagram of spurn acids

I currently am not using a method. However I'm sure that will change when I go for me Med appointment tomorrow. I did though start a discussion about my previous form…merania iud.

Is that the hormonal one

Yes it's the hormone one. The first time it was awesome for me. There's no doubt about that!! But the second time around my body didn't like it. I'm happy for you that you've found something that works for you.

Have you tried the implant in your arm it is very good for people that struggle with the Iud type

Yeah in 6 years it is the man s turn and he is getting snipped.

Lol oh that would be cool. My husband wouldn't go for it I don't think. We will figure it out though no doubt :-)

Paragard IUD

Do you worry about the added hormones ?

It doesn't have hormones

How does it work?

It uses copper instead of hormones to prevent pregnancy.

Ok I've never heard it be called that I have coper IUD because I don't need more hormones to make me crazy.
