Birth Control Pill Question

[Guest guest]

I'm still leery about an IUD...... What else would y'all recommend? I want to keep my supply as steady as possible, since Damia seems to be happy with it.

That is out of date information about a badly designed IUD available in the 1970's, they do not cause infertility.I had DP shots after my first child and I hated the entire experience. I bled (like on a period) every day for six months. I will never do that to my body again.AlanaGive the Gift of Life Breastfeed!http://www.lactivist.com

Hi Krista --

If you haven't had the Depo shot yet, *please* do some more research on it.

I read a lot about it on the Internet a couple of years ago and I'd never

recommend it for anyone who wanted to have more children. The biggest thing

was that I read it could cause up to 25% of the women who took it to be

infertile. Many others will not be able to conceive for 18 months or more

after their last shot.

I recently read at another website that there are women getting together a

class action lawsuit because they feel that Depo is so terrible. They have

stories about tremendous weight gain, mood swings, suicidal-type depression.

Norplant works the same way but it can be removed if you have horrible side

effects. With Depo, you have to wait out the three months and *hope* that

the side effects will go away.

> I haven't had any personal experience with them, but I've heard they can

cause permanent infertility as well. Tubal blockage of some sort I

understand...... My midwife firmly told me NOT to get one EVER! So I'm

going for Depo-Provera, since my Dr this time recommended that.

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......

You can put it in a few hours before and leave it in overnight I think. and I don't have a problem with condoms because he says putting them on is half the fun lol I guess it's all in the way you look at it.

I second this recommendation for this book. It is an excellent book. I

got it from Amazon and have learned so much from it.

That's encouraging. I was dreading the cost of a new one, cuz I really want to lose the weight.
