What Bc (Birth Control) To Use?



Recommended Posts

I was on the pill for years until Aug. I have been off it since mid Aug. So I can have Surgery in Nov. I know its a bit early but I didnt want to have to refill a script so I just ended it then. I was hoping to be able to go back on to the pill after 6 wks when Dr says ok. Anyone else on the pill still with VSG? or did you have to switch completely? I tried NuvaRing before and hated it. Thanks!

I was told that the pill is fine and that we still absorb it . I will be continuing taking Yasmin in a couple weeks . Just had to go off for a month after surgery since they can contribute to blood clot issues .

i actually have implavon (sp?) in my ar. its the BC stick its good for three years and i love it. its been known to cause weight gain but they looked at my chart and i was the same weight a year ago when they put it in. i like it because i dont have to worry about taking pills every day or getting shots.

I recently removed my paragard IUD to give my body a rest plus after 4 years it cause extremely painful and heavy periods not to mention it decreased my sex drive a bit after a while~ Anywho

I plan on getting the Mirena IUD in next week!

For the ladies who have the Mirena IUD did you get it inserted before or after getting sleeved?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
