What is the best birth control method. I want to wait a year before trying. I have pcos and psidotumer celebri

My cousin is fertile Myrtle. She had three kids one after another. She then got an IUD and didn't get preggers for 8 years. She re-married and had it removed. She's pregnant for the second time in 2 years!

I just use ugly pajamas:)

I have the mirena IUD and i love it. i rarely have periods now

asking about effective birth control implies that OP is having sex

It was suppose to be a joke...I guess a bad one...sorry

sorry, I read things pretty literally

I'm on implanon' date=' it's a small rod the doctor inserts into your upper inner arm. It lasts for 3 years but you can get it out whenever you want. I am almost up to my 5th year on implanon (had it changed once) and haven't had many problems. The only think that bothers me is that I have really irregular periods. Sometimes I don't have them for up to a year, sometimes I'll have them off and on for 2 months.

I have pcos too, that didn't affect my choice of contraception though[/quote']

My gyno had mentioned this as an option for me, especially since I am notorious for forgetting to take my pills. She said something about they numb your arm before putting it in? I am a huge wimp, was it painful to have done?

Is the nuvaring one that you insert yourself or does the doctor do it ( like an I. U. D.)?

Yes it's the one you insert yourself. Kinda looks like those little plastic/rubber bracelets the kids wear lol.

Easy to insert & remove.

Implanoni is what its called. I had irregular periods all my life, and I thought the implanon would cure that. Fooled me. I would have one for 5 days, then stop for 2, back on for 2 weeks, then stop for a day. But when I first got on it, I didnt have a period for 4 months straight. My sex life sucked for the 2 years I had it in. It was effective though. I dont know if that was because of the implanon or because I was only sexing for 7 days out of the month, on a good month.

I have the implanon too, haven't had a period since April last year. My dr used local on my arm and it was wrapped with a compression bandage for 2 days. I couldn't feel it at all when I was fat, but now that I'm skinny, I can feel if really easily. It was reassuring knowing that I wouldn't be bleeding at the time of the op or recovery. I've had 2 pregnancies while on different pills so this was better for me.

Yikes, now you guys have me thinking I am glad I didn't go with that option.

Thank goodness for this thread! I just stopped my pill 2 days before surgery. My Dr. Didn't really say yes or no as to taking it. He asked if I could dissolve it in my mouth. I said I don't know I never tried. So I just decided to stop it and get something new. Anybody use an IUD?

I'm so scared of accidents.

I meant to say copper IUD. I would love something that has no hormones!

I have tried them all lol but I have stuck with the nuvaring... I actually really love it. The implanon had horrible side effects for me.

I'm on seasonelle. I take for three months straight and then have a period. I'm almost 2 mo post op and its been working as it should (no break through bleeding to indicate the pill isn't being absorbed) HOWEVER...I do not play with fire, therefore we use condoms as back ups. DH has his consult for the BIG V next fri.

I have PCOS and used the pills to keep my periods lighter and regular and may continue them until more weight comes off.
