Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hi tte, I haven't had our new baby yet....but I know what kind of BC I used so I wouldn't get pregnant after WLS.....condoms and the rhythm method. Before I had WLS I had Norplant installed in my arm. It was great - 5 years of birth control and no periods. But when I wanted to have a baby it made trying to conceive very hard. I didn't have a period for 3 years after having the norplant removed. The norplant system is the 6 little hormone sticks that get put into the fat in your arm. I cannot use the pill because I have a blood clotting disorder and it would be very dangerous. I would recommend talking with your Ob-gyn. Good luck! Chrystal Wife to Jace - together 6 Years!

Re: Re: Vaginal Birth After C-section Hi Chrystal, Glad to hear things went well with your baby. I have a question that maybe you can answer. I have posted a few times but not getting alot of replies. I am curious as to what type of Birth Control you may be using or what your dr. recommended. I was wondering if the pill is safe enough for WLS patients and what your choices were that you felt were going to be effective. I hope I can get some good ideas from new and old moms as to what the best choices are. Seems most people either don't know or don't want to elaborate on this question.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hi Chrystal, Thanks for your help. Please let me know of any other contraceptive methods considered safe and effective for WLS patients. Have any info. on IUD's or the patch from anyone.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hi Chrystal, I was wondering when taking that Norplant, what side effects did you have if any and did you gain any weight and how much. Have been researching these contraception possibilities and want to make sure they pick the right one. Re: Re: Vaginal Birth After C-section Hi Chrystal, Glad to hear things went well with your baby.
