Birth Control...

Do any of you guys have any experience with birthcontrol post op?

I know RNY paperwork stated something about birthcontrol pills being ineffective because of the digestive changes.

Anyone know about IUD's? My awsome insurance pays for this too, after copay ofcourse. I don't want a surpise pregnancy during my weight loss journey but I do want to try after about 2 more years. There goes my 5 year plan.

Please let me know.

Jennifer

    My doctor said the pill would not be effective, even though I noticed i Have had weird cycles for 2 months. For some reason they have been late for 2 months since I had my surgery.

    My OB and surgeon said the the surgery should not effect my birthcontrol. My OB did say that I might have some breakthrough bleeding which often occurs when your body is going through major changes.
