Birth Control Pill Question

[Guest guest]

My instructions say that the only thing is that you shouldn't have it in over 24 hours, but that it has to remain in 8 hrs after intercourse....so that buys you about 16 hrs of time...I chose this method too, but the only thing I don't like about it is that if Iose the weight I want to (i'm a bit of a "fluffy" person), I have to get a new one..they say you have to get fitted if you gain/lose 10 pounds.

When I was using one, I lost 80lbs and did not need a new one.

I went in to be refitted and still used the same size. But of course I

would check on it just in case

Maybe I could get fitted for a diaphragm..... My mom

used one and it worked for her after she had me...... How long before

you want to have sex can you put them in? I don't like condoms cause they

kill spontaneity and I don't want something like that if I can help it...... Krista

> but depo can screw up your thyroid, it did my sil, and she has been off of

> it for a long time, and can not concieve

I was on depo for over a year and I Just want to point out that there is a

portion of the people with EVERY method for which they have problems! I had

no problems, no period, nothing It worked great for me. It took me 9 mos

from my last injection to get my period back and we are going to start

trying in August (ohh! Can't wait!!)

My mom got pregnant with an IUD (with my younger sister)

I just feel that you should know that every form has it's advantages and you

really have to decide what's good for you. I never had any supply problems

and no worries about it so it wasn't as big of an issue when I was

choosing..I know it is for some people, but you have to weigh the

benefits/risks for yourself

This is true. There are also babies who refuse to become nipple

confused, the problem is that we don't know who they are until it is

too late many times.

I wholeheartedly agree that women should educate themselves and make

the decision that works best for them. Some women are willing to put

up with a few side effects to get the constant protection that the

Depo offers. Some are more willing to take a slight chance at

pregnancy and will use a less reliable form of BC to avoid other side

effects. It is such an individual decision and I am glad there are

several good choices out there for us to choose from. Now if they

would only make a male BC pill... LOL

I am very interested in this form of BC, but I read that it is not as

effective during breastfeeding, is this not true because I would love to take

the class, especially after all I have heard about Depo!
