When did you go back on birth control?



Recommended Posts

My surgeon (who has a horrible bedside manner but amazing skills) said I had to wait 3 months and that I should not have sex with my husband for those 3 months plus a month additional while I wait for the birth control to kick in. That sounds insane to me.

Sounds insane to me also. My dr had me go off bcp's for a month prior (blood clot reasons I guess) but I went back on them immediately afterwards. We had to use condoms (had sex about 10 days after surgery. Wasn't enjoyable but it wasn't painful either) for the first month while my bcp's kicked back in.

What's his reason for #1 u can start taking the pill and #2 not suggesting a back up method of birth control? 3 months sounds ridiculous...

I have an IUD so I never came off BC. I had sex just under a week post op and lived. :D

I'm telling your husband...

Oh my! Mine had me start birth control two months BEFORE surgery. Also said we could have sex as soon as I felt like it- we made it almost two weeks!

Here is another question sjnce we are in the subject. Anyone have a libido boost. It seems all I want is sex lol Maybe its my cross addiction?

I bet your partner is happy! Please start another thread for this in the powder Room so this one stays on track. I'm moving this one to the Powder Room too.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
