Ok so i'm almost 90% sure i'm done with having kids so until either jon and i get the big chop i'm looking for a reliable alternative. ( i say 90% because this is all conditional on my relationship with him and if we change our minds in ten years..who knows..just don't want something that can mess up the organs, just in case ya know?)

anyhoo so right now there are two options.

1. the ring ( used it before and i LOVE it!) however he doesn't have full faith it works it's 98% or whatever..I love that it doesnt make me yarf like the pills and other methods do.
2. depo- he swears it will never fail and yada yada..however i have heard some nasty things about it's repercussions on the female organ. I also hate shots. ( although he did promise to buy me a treat every time i go get a shot..lol!)

so the big thing for him is effective and for me...I just dont want to be puking because my tolerance of hormones is low..to zip..lol.

so can i get some info here..especially on the depo?

Sorry, I'm no help. I have heard really bad things about the depo, and I am against taking any kind of hormone into my body if it can be avoided. So, I am a condom girl until DH gets the big V

dito.gif Dh and I have always used condoms unless we are trying to get pg, and while they're not exactly fun, they do work - and without any side effects.

This is me too, although for me I went off BC to have my kids and tried for a few years to stay off of it and then my ovarian cysts came back and well, I can't find anything else that works. dry.gif My doc advised me to try depo but I just heard too many bad things about it, so I went with something else.

Hope you find what works for you. hug.gif

It made me gain weight REALLY REALLY easy....seriously 30lbs

I'm on a low dose pill, which is the same hormone throughout the month. I have issues with harmones and really prefer NOT to take any kind of bc but after having Autumn I had LOTS of issues and needed something it helped LOTS.

I used to always be on bcp... but in the last 6 months or so I decided to stop (not ttc just didn't like the hormones). Dh & I have been doing either withdrawl or condoms.

It's not the mess.. i rather like the mess actually emlaugh.gif
But i dont like how they feel. I also hate having to get them on ..although to toot my own horn i found some creative ways to do it.. it's just takes up time and you gotta do it all smexy (smexy = smart and sexy) to ensure they don't rip and so you don't kill the mood.

pills are a No go for me..lol I'd forget to take them. i do it every time! lol!

You might want to look into the mirena then..Just google it..It is nice because it lasts for 5 years..It is an IUD.. wink.gif

wavey.gif I've taken it and HATED it. I had HORRIBLE side effects. I would bleed for LOOOONNNNGG stretches of time. Like a month straight? And then not at all and then a month again. I was anemic from it. Slept ALL the time. And had SEVERE depression. I stopped the shot and it ALL stopped (makes me think it was the shot).

How about something like that Minera (sp?) IUD?

Yeah, condoms sucks. My dh refuses to wear them lol. We don't use anything and will probably never will since it's so hard for me to get pregnant.

I did use the shot, and I gained 35 pounds in a couple months. Also, it made me bleed for 8-9 months straight. And that's with only one shot. I never did go back for another. I also heard that it causes infertility in otherwise fertile people. For me, it could have helped my infertility problems, but it wasn't the main cause.

For a while I did. It was great for me to have her so young. I just think I'm not ready anytime soon or ever even to do it again. I don't really need more then her. Maybe I'll change my mind in 5 years but for now..in my mind..im done.

I am on a low dose pill and have no side effects. As far as forgetting to take the pill, just keep them by something you do everyday, like your toothbrush or purse. Just a suggestion, hope you find something that works for you.

That's what I do. Mine are on my bathroom sink right next to my toothbrush, so it's a daily routine thumb.gif
