Birth Control

[Guest guest]

Has anyone heard of the yam pills or cream that has natural progesterone

(sp) ? My husband had a vasectomy but I am using the cream to control my

acne because it is completely a hormonal thing. I just started using it

yesterday and wondered if anyone else knew about it. I understand the

pills actually can be used as birth control.

Sorry guys - skip this post!

But, I started the Niva-ring about 8 months ago and I LOVE it. It helps to not

have to take yet ANOTHER pill amongst all the viamins and pills etc . . .

You put this little ring in for 21 days, then take it out for 7 days. Then you

put a new fresh 1 in for another 21 days. It is the exact thing as taking pills,

but it is slow released in your body instead of taking it orally. It is

wonderful! I have shorter lighter periods with it even!

I've heard that the pill is NOT a reliable form of birth control after the

MGB. I get a Depo shot every 3 months. I would suggest you contact one of

the nurses at Dr. R's office and not go by simply my opinion or the opinion

of others. I don't know anything about the birth control patch, but I wonder

what makes it different from the pill. Depo is different, most people I know

that's taken it once they stop taking it and try having a baby, it takes at

least a year to conceive. I've not asked any of the nurses at Dr. R's office

about Depo it's just a decision I made for myself. If you or your friend

talks to Dr. R's nurse about this, would you post what they said?

Hi, My friend that had surgery the day after I did asked me today what

everyone is using for birth control. I told her I thought alot of people were

using the patch. But would put the question out for some other insights. She

does not get online. So if anyone could give me some information on what

works please let me know.

Thanks

Just a word of caution about the Depo shot. I took this many years ago

because of my weight between baby 1 and baby 2, because my Gyno. said I was

too heavy to safely take the pill. I did want to add that 2 mos. after I went

off the shots, I got pregnant. I think the wording is, it can take UP to 1

year to get pregnant again after going off the Depo. 10/16/02...

Ahhh. Thanks . Actually, it's always concerned me that it took so long

for people to become pregnant after going off the shot. I've known of several

people that it did take a minimum of a year to get pregnant after going off of

it. Sounds like you were one of the lucky one's.

Thanks again for the info.

Hormonal Birth Control is not a reliable form of contraception for at

least 2 years after the MGB or any gastric bypass surgery. When you have

stabilized at a weight for at least 6months to a year without going up

or down, you may consider hormonal birth control...pill, patch,

injection. Until then it is abstinence, condoms and/or spermicide.

I hope this helps all of you out there who are struggling with this

question.

Birth Control

What method of birth control are you all using? I was taking a

deprovera

(sp?) injection every 3 months, however I've gained some weight and my

doctor

feels like it's a result of the injection. I guess people normally do

gain

weight with the depo shot. I have a cousin that was skin and bones and

once she

started it, she gained 40 pounds. In any event, my doctor took my off

the depo

and put me on birth control pills. I know I've saw posts that this is

what

some are using, but I also know that it's been said it's not a reliable

form of

birth control after the MGB, too. My doctor knows I had a gastric

bypass and

still thought this would prevent pregnancy for me. I emailed Dana at

Dr. R's

office and she's not responded yet, so I wanted to get input from you

all.

, any insight here? I have a son that just turned a year old and

where

I'd like another baby someday, I don't want one another one now. I

wonder if

the years post op has anything to do with the prevention of pregnancy.

What I

mean is, after 2 years it SEEMS that your body adjusts somewhat to the

bypass

in the sense that some do gain weight after the 2 year mark. So I

wonder if

that means the absorption is a little better after a certain period than

in the

very beginning.

Thanks to anyone who has input for me.

We don't have a lot of money, and I can understand what you are saying. For me, it comes down to what I feel that God has convicted me to do, and what my religious convictions are. We don't do very well financially, but when dh retires and we leave california, we will be doing a whole lot better.

*** Giggles wildly *** I would sew my legs together at the knees lol. NFP (natural family planning) if done correctly is more effective than the pill and so forth, isn't an abortifacient, and doesn't introduce all kinds of yucky hormones into your body!

AMEN to that! I breast fed my last baby post dx for almost a year. Hubby finally asked me to stop nursing because she had become the "attachment" I swear that child nursed 16 hours a day.... She will be 5 years old in November - gosh they just grow up so so fast. I was reading her a book the other night and just was so filled with love and tenderness - she is beginning to recognize words and is so curious and ach!

My grandmother had 15 kids that lived (one died in infancy). She was 46 and 6 months pregnant when she died, crippled with arthritis. My grandfather died only a few years after her & the second oldest daughter raised the ones still at home.

I used to date a guy in Montreal who had 23 brothers & sisters, a couple sets of twins & a good Catholic family. He was the oldest - 25 - his mother was just 41 & pregnant when we broke up. Now that's insane!

[Guest guest]

My neighbor who is 85 now was an only child. When her future husband, , took her home to meet his family there were 17 brother's and sister's running around. She told that if they got married she didn't want to have that many kid's. And she didn't - she had 19.

Nope, they don't make families like that anymore. Thank you God!!!

I got my hep c from blood transfusion's when my 3rd son was born in '73 or my hysterectomy in '79. I'll never know for sure. Had my daughter in '77 and I sure thank God for her.

Glad you're back Kathy B. I've sure missed you.

My grandmother had 15 kids that lived (one died in infancy). She was 46 and 6 months pregnant when she died, crippled with arthritis. My grandfather died only a few years after her & the second oldest daughter raised the ones still at home.

I used to date a guy in Montreal who had 23 brothers & sisters, a couple sets of twins & a good Catholic family. He was the oldest - 25 - his mother was just 41 & pregnant when we broke up. Now that's insane!

Im not sure when I got mine either. I had oral surgery in 78 and then skin grafing in 84. I have had it quite a while is the only thing we really know.
