**Edit: I'm on the Ortho Evra Patch now, like Yi Min. But I'm going to switch back to Depo as soon as I can. I miss it. gonk

I have an IUD....I'm glad I don't have to worry about using any kind of anything because I'm forgetful. I do have irregular periods whereas when I was on a pill they were very regular. My cramps are bad now.

My hubby said after the dificulty we had last time with me finding the right Birthcontroll, the grater risk ,though not significant, to me If I had it done, and the pain I went through with child birth, He wanted to go through the procedure. He's just silly I went with him and it wasn't nearly as painful as childbirth.

When we first married I was on the pill. Then went off it to have my first girl. I t only took us a month to get pregnant. Then after brestfeeding for a year we decided to try again when I got my cycle regular. Well I never did get my cycle regular because we got prego with our second girl. Then we used the condom for a while and I decided to go back on the pill. Like others here I didn't gain or loos weight with it and had verry few pimples the last time I used it. Well some thing was wrong. I was cycling for too long and getting sevier cramps so we switched to another pill. It made me sick, didn't help the cramps and though my cycle was shorter I was bleeding like a stuck pig. So we tried the patch. Still problems we wen't to depo and I went to see the Dr to tell her I was having strange cramps this time not realy hard but weird and what should we do? Well she told me we should stop using birthcontroll as I was pregnant with our boy. She neglected to inform me that that much switching of med can cause you to be slightly more firtle. Which for me means I'm a friggin rabit. So blessed son is one and Daddy is fixed and I need to look into Mary K or something to get rid of these anoying blemishes. rofl

You guys kinda scare me.... I'm pregnant with my first... I have never ever been on birth control. I honestly thought I was infertile, because with all my previous partners we didn't use anything, but most of them used the "pull-out" method. But even in any of the "screw-ups" I never got pregnant, and I have been sexually active for 5 years now. So I was afraid I couldn't get pregnant, but after me and my husband got married we started trying, and it only took 3 mo. So I guess I was just lucky before. But I keep reading that you guys have all these period issues and cramps because of birth control, and honestly my periods my entire life since I was 10 have been exactly 28 days apart, 4 days long.. with no cramps... only nausea and headaches on bad days. So now I'm scared of birth control.

I can't be on anything with estrogen, because of family history
I can't remember to take the pill...
I want an IUD, but I keep horror stories of cramps...
I have no health insurance, so I want to get something decently permnant while I'm still on medicaid
I am too young for sterlization, I'm only 19... same with my husband....

So is the IUD (with progesterone) a good choice or not?

Well I use to use the pill but I had really bad side effects. wahmbulance Now my husband has to use condoms. Which my husband and I hate, but what can we do it is better than no protection. Thank goodness he hasn't gotten me pregnant again. I do not know if I can handle another baby since my son is now entering the terrible 2s and is not yet potty trained. sweatdrop All I can say is be careful on your choice of birth control. I hope you do not get any reactions from it. Pick something that works for you and fits your lifestyle. Good Luck!
