I am taking birth control pills. Started taking them a week ago. When I take them my pouch just doesn't agree and I feel sick all day. Can't eat or drink at all without getting close to throwing up. What other options do you ladies recommend for birth control besides the pill.

I just went to my obgyn on Monday and she put me back on NuvaRing. Didn't want to do an IUD because I haven't had children and didn't want to do Depo because of weight gain. I have taken NuvaRing before and she thought that was the best option for me post surgery.

About the NuvaRing.....isn't it awkward to insert? And do you feel anything? Can it slip out or be felt during sex by either person? I'm starting Depo at the end of this month but want to be prepared with a back up plan in case I don't like it.

I also had the nueva ring. Not really too bad to insert and then you don't really feel it. The only downside is that my bf said it made me taste weird down below.

Me too! But if the shot doesn't work for me it would be my only other option. Definitely not doing an IUD or Norplant.

If the nuvaring does come out while you're doing the nasty, you have 3 hours to reinsert it so its not a huge issue. I cannot feel mine, can't even tell its there, it's rather odd!!!!

Yes I chose because it is so dangerous if you become pregnant in the first 18 months because your hormones are crazy and you lack nutrients.

Poorly bear when you insert it I empty a tampon holder and intern it into the empty case and then use that... No mess no fuss and no struggle

I've been through Alesse and Seasonale but both gave me migraines and killer mood swings. I just chucked the pill and am going to take my chances with mother nature. I feel better already. I'm 39 and will be paying off the fertility treatments for my 4-year-old for years. I can't quite believe that I'll suddenly turn up pregnant.

Haha! That's what I said. After being infertile for 13 years I got pregnant. 12 weeks pregnant and 13 weeks post op.

Yes ladies, find the method that works best for you and gastric bypass. My pill failed and even tho I'm happy to finally be having a child after 13 years of infertility, it's a hard and exhausting road that no one should have to go through so close after having surgery.

I've been infertile for so long I forgot that BC will be an issue for me again after I have surgery. Do they still make the birth control patch? I just don't like IUDs or implants.

Same thing with me i finally hv a period i really dnt want bc but i know i may need something i dnthv kids yet but want to wait a while but scared of implants &weight gain

They do but I'm not sure it'll work on bypass patients. Your best bet is to talk to your doctor or surgeon about what methods would be best for you. I was told my best options were Norplant, Nuvaring, or Depo. I'm going with the shot.
