Birth control

Just curious to know if anyone continued to use birth control pills after their surgery and how effective was it? I am seeing mix reviews with weight gain & weight loss however I tried to get the IUD 2 days ago & it was no success(no kids so extremely painful) I am not concerned about the kids part I just have bad uterine polyps that occur so birth control helps but as stated before I’ve read that the pills may not be that effective... just wondering about birth control options anyone may have found.

I am also curious. Ashamed to say, but my husband and I have been obtaining from sex prior to surgery and I can only imagine we will after if I don't find a reliable form of birth control. At my weight, I don't think I'd have a successful pregnancy. That terrifies me.

I was told to go to iud plus use condoms and you shouldn’t get preg for 1 year,, I gained tons of weight on bcp, so I’m just not having sex lol
