so i haven't used birth control for the last 7 years because we are hoping to ave one more beautiful baby to add to the bunch. but obviously my focus is on recovery and weight loss right now. i am 3 weeks out tomorrow and my obgyn said he would send me an rx to pick up at the pharmacy. my question is what does everyone prefer? it's been so long i'm not sure what's out there. i used the patch before and hated it. also used the nuva ring and could never get it to stay in (always came out during sex and about half way out during a bm- sorry if that is TMI). sounds like he is sending me a script for a pill. he said they are all basically the same so unless i requested a specific one he would just call in an everyday common one so it should be pretty text book!

I was told I couldn't do the pill for at least 1 year out, that it wouldn't be absorbed properly. My surgeon told me the barrier method was best, condom, diaphram things like that. My OBGYN also said the Depo shot or an IUD would work. I just chose to stick with condoms since at 18 months when I am cleared by my surgeon and OBGYN i plan on starting to try to get pregnant.
