Alternatives to birth control pills?
We've been married just over 4 months, and I'm almost 30. My hormones are changing and so my doctor switched me to a higher dose pill (Yaz to Necon--huge difference), which has made me gain weight and feel anxious. My husband and I want to try FAM and some sort of spermicide. We would like to start trying for a baby in about a year or so, so I don't want an IUD or anything hormonal. Any suggestions or feedback?
Re: Alternatives to birth control pills?
I just started using FAM, and I think it's a great alternative to hormonal BC. If you're going to try it, buy Taking Charge of your Fertility and read a few times. You should plan to use a barrier for at least a couple of months, maybe even longer since you are coming off of the pill. Also check out fertilityfriend.com and tcoyf.com, which are both convenient places to log your fertility signs while using FAM. fertility friend is very much geared toward TTC, while tcoyf is easier for birth control use but isn't as good of a website (IMO).
Good luck, and feel free to post or PM me with any other questions.
