Re: BC poll

  • I have an IUD and love it.

  • Oh and way to many people are getting pregnant while on the pill... Eeek!

  • I have an IUD (Mirena) and i love it. I would get it again in a heart beat.
  • i've only used the pill, am allergic to latex, couldn't wake up consistently for temping, and wasn't a good candidate for IUD (i wanted to have a baby too soon).

    dr suggested to me nuva-ring, but it was $30/month, versus $10 for 3 months BCP that i was using...so i opted out.

    if cost isn't prohibitive to you, i would try nuva ring (and tell me how it is!). 

    i think after this baby we will just have a surprise-baby when the time is right, and then have H snipped after that.

  • gah!  that scares me because I've only ever been on the pill.
  • Nuva Ring. I'd have a million kids if I had to remember a pill every morning.

    actually-- if you're still breastfeeding, you shouldn't use any hormonal bc-- so maybe copper iud?? i don't know much about those though.

    this!
  • Sorry about the post and run, and thanks for the input! I think I might like the idea of Mirena but I am not totally convinced when it comes to having anything like that shoved up in there =/. I won't do a copper IUD because I have AWFUL vomit inducing cramps and I've been told that the copper can make it worse. Also, I just had to quit BFing because I can't pump at work =[. I am thinking about implanon, too. Who knows. Maybe I'll just have a hundred kids.

    I had life altering, vomit inducing cramps before my IUD and now I just have annoying cramps.It is like heaven...

  • I think that copper IUDs last longer (10 years) than the others (5 years).  Also, IUD complications are much less likely after childbirth than before.  It seems like a good option.

    EXCUSE ME, SAY WHAT?!?! That's stopping WAY SHORT of your twenty-sev!! They won't let you adopt 25 kids, so you best be having a few more naturally.

  • I used the Ring, which killed my sex drive (and hurt if it came out during sexxxaytimes!), but was otherwise awesome, for a couple years.

    And then I used the Fertility Awareness Method for two years as TTA, which worked great, and then used it for one cycle of TTC... Now, no need for BC for a bit longer, still. ;)

    Planning to go back to FAM once I have stable-enough sleep to get reliable temps. :)
