What birth control are you on? Does it work with you?

Seriously I use condoms but I think it is time for Miraina.0

I did great on the pill. Mirena made me gain weight.
Depo is horrible and I hate to tell you, but every single woman I ever knew who got pregnant after using Depo miscarried at least once and usually several times. It also causes bone loss and can send you into menopause, among other things. Weight gain is the best side effect of Depo.0 -
I have the implant "Implanon", It works great and no side effects, except for random unpredictable periods. But, those are light and only last a day or 2. other than that it's ok. no weight gain as of yet, I've been on it for 4 months now, after having a baby.0

The pull and pray method. It's worked so far, haha.
I've been on just about every form of hormonal b/c with terrible side effects (NuvaRing was the worst by far, followed by Mirena, ugh). Considering trying the Paragard, but meh...idk.0 -
Menopause.
It has its disadvantages.0 -

I did that. LOL I had the copper IUD in for like 8 months after the mirena for 2 years, wanted to try for a baby when my husband returned home from overseas, we decided its not time for another baby after moving so like 6 months after taking it out I put it back in. It's been less than a year thats its in again. But I don't have to pay for anything like copays bc my husband is military.0 -
Hubby got snipped. No weight gain so far!
Bahaha awesome. I'm on Cryselle personally. Don't really think I've had weight gain, acne, or other physical side effects. Sometimes I get really moody. But I've been on the same type for so long, I can't even tell if it's the BC that's the cause, or if it's just me. :grumble: Been thinking about talking to my doctor about changing it up. We shall see.
Omg I want your stomach.
Ahhh you just made my day! Thanks!! :flowerforyou: Your eyes are gorgeous btw, I've always envied green eyes0 -
My tubes are tied, but prior to that I tried the Depo shot, Nuva Ring and different pills. I never gained weight on any, and never had any of the crazy side effects. My personal favorite was Yaz because it kept my skin clear and I felt like my hormones were really under control.0

I was on such a variety of different pills after my son, all of which gave me manic depression. I had Mirena implanted after my daughter was born and although I do still get the occasional depression, I'm more aware of it and able to handle it.
I've been tempted to go for something more permanent, but my husband wants the option of more children in the future, so he gets to deal with me being a moody ***** occasionally. =B0 -
So many brand names here, I don't know what's what! (I'm also British which probably doesn't help matters either!)
I'm on Microgynon and I'm one of those weird people who has fairly few side effects. No weight gain, and I'm only moody on the third and fourth days of a new strip, after that I feel like it actually stablises my mood!
I'm thinking of moving to IUD though because it's killing my libido and that upsets me but the risk of heavier periods and worse cramps scares me because my cramps were already bad enough before I started taking the pill, so I don't know what to do about it.0 -
I use my personality! It's 100 effective! :laugh:0
-
Im on the generic of Yaz and i love it...i have been on it for awhile now and i have no weight gain at all...mood swings alil but no more then any normal girl lol
birth control is the best option for any one who doesnt want to have a child at this point in your life0 -
it is amazing how everyone is affect differently. every body is different and react all in our own way. very interesting:)0
-
THEY MAKE SOMETHING FOR THAT???? I just keep popping them out! Who knew!0
-
My tubes are tied. I regret it so much though0
-
I had my tubes tied after my daughter was born, tied, cut and burned... Best choice I ever made!!!0
