Hello fellow Cysters!

I am hoping to have sleeve surgery next month and need to look in birth control a.s.a.p. I haven't been on anything for the past 10 years and never had a scare, probably due to being morbidly obese. Now that I am surgery bound, I am sure with weight loss, pregnancy will need to be avoided like never before. I am out of the loop, what is the best BC pill in your opinion? I would like to try Mirena, but my PCP, said it only works if you have had children. Help!

I hated the mirena It made my cysts worse, so I had it removed and had the implanon done and I love it no cyst issue occasionally I have break through bleeding but not often.

Nooooo mirena don't just work if u have had children. Makes the insertion less painful. But it's not that bad! Just ask for pain med and or Valium! Lol

My sis in law had mirena in before kids.

There is copper T as well! Both proven to completely be able to start having regular cycles after removal.

I know after RNY u can't do bcp's as the pills won't be absorbed properly. So I tried mirena and copper t. Both wouldn't stay. Body rejected them. So now I either have to do depo or implant or nuva ring. Hmmmm
