Birth Control
Posted: 06-22-06 16:48pm

My hunny and I have been using condoms
& such, and i'm thinking about going
on birth control but am not sure what's a
good kind. I was going on the iud but
then researched it, they said it lasts
5-10 years but has to be replaced once a
year, which I don't like. I was also
thinking about seasonal, but then a few
people told me they bled non stop for
months when they were on it. I'm not
planning on having another for a long time
either, so I need something that's really
good and something that could possibly
help my periods. (i get bad period cramps
and bleed like a pig being tore apart by a
pitt) heh......
Help? =(

No the iud does not have to be replaced
once a year!!That was an older iud called
progestasert! It had hormones in it.
The 5 year iud stays in for 5 years, hence
why it is called a 5 year iud.This one is
hormonal and replaced the progestasert
one.
Paragard can stay in for 10 years, I have
one =) it stays in for 10 years!

I heard the iud wasn't good because it
could create scar tissue and prevent you
from having babies all together.. Thats
what my health teacher told us in the 8th
grade, and I also heard it on lifetime lol
I dunno

Breastfeeding isn't guaranteed as far as
preventing pregnancy. But from what i've
read, breastfeeding exclusively has an
excellent chance of keeping your cycle on
hold. Again, not a guaranteed method of
birth control, but... *shrug* it's
different for every woman.

But what if your allergic to other
contraceptives? Can you be allergic to
the uid too? Or do you have to just wait
and find out till its in your body?
Cheers

You cannot actually be really allergic to
pills, you can 'not tolerate them" like
me.Allergy imlies an immune system
response...
The iud does not cause scar tissue, and is
very very safe. Millions of women have
them before and after having children,
iud's got a bad rap from the dalkon
shield.(which was recalled and faulty)
the only way you not tolerate an iud is if
you were allergic to copper, because
paragard has copper in it.

Hahahalol
one test that is often used by doctors is
to tape a copper penny to the forearm of a
woman to check, but if you had wilsons
disease(severe allergy to copper), I would
imagine you would know by now.

Hahaha that's funny
i am clueless on what birth control i'm
gonna take. I guess I researched an old
site or something, because it said it has
to be replaced every year and I was like
what!!
The iud sounds like a plan to me, i'll
just have to talk to my doctor about it!
See, I haven't been to the doctor since
i've had brayden. I skipped my 6 week
check up because of this cancerous tissue
I got, and didn't feel like dealing with
it until later. I have an appt july 15th
I think it was and i'm gonna get the check
done to make sure everything looks fine,
which it should because I havent been
having any problems and etc, I gotta talk
about the birth control and the cancerous
tissue. I hate the doctors so bad, and
would rather just not go to be honest.
What do they do at your 6 week check up
guys?

Pap smear, check to see if you are
healing, and talk about birth control.
Because you have dysplasia though, you
might talk about a colposcopy. Which is
like a pap with a microscope that the
doctor can see your cervix up close with.
That appointment would be scheduled at a
later time than your '6 week' check up
though ;)

an iud does not give you a higher risk of
cervical cancer. Hpv gives you a higher
risk of cervical cancer.

yeah i've had it done before once.
Because my pap smear came up with abnormal
cells so he clipped a piece off and tested
it which is how I know I have cancerous
tissue, a couple months later I got
another pap and it came back normal so
hopefully it's gone away, otherwise i'll
have to get it cut out.
Owieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
I hate doctors so much, and it makes me
wonder why males would even wanna be
obgyn's. =|

yes i'm gonna have more!!! But not
anytime soon. Chris and I thought we were
ready to have another so soon after
brayden but then recently changed our
minds. Mainly because I don't want
brayden to have a sibling so close in age.
I at least want 1 more. Chris and I want
to have a baby together because we are
getting married soon.
I just hate condoms, it gives me a rash on
my legs. I think i'm like allergic to
latex or something. It's always been like
this. The only birth control i've been on
is the patch which helped my cramps and
such with my periods, but obviously didn't
protect against pregnancy because I had
pregnant with brayden on it. They
recommend not to use it anymore, so i'm
thinking about something more permanent,
5-10 years is good for me. I never
planned on having any babies young, but
life never turns out how you want it to
anyways.
