birth control

 I went to the doctors today and they  gave me the pill i am not sure if this is the right thing or not beasuse the doctor said that i could take it  please help. condoms will not work i dont like the feel of them any more 

I read a lot of posts about BC and I see the ultimate choice would be a IUD.... I'm really needing some sort of BC and I won't take any pills or shots and having a plastic device in me (IUD) kind of freaks me out... and condoms are a no go for us....  I don't know any other options since I listed most of them....

I'm still on the hunt for an answer! LOL

 implanonnnn! lol

what about the BC patch? I don't know anyone who has used it and I'm not sure of the effectiveness of it over certain weights but it might be an option. I have my yearly check up in a few weeks and I'm going to ask about it so I have a plan in place for when I have surgery.

 i was going to  get an iud  but i am  waiting for that  beause  i dont want to  come out or shift 

 get the implanon!!!! its amazing really. it keeps my face amazingly clear as a plus! :)

The consensus mostly is the pill is no good for us because our bodies don't absorb them the same way unless they are chewable BC pills, Which I've heard of, but don't know anything about.

I'd say if you don't want something implanted in you to look into the NuvaRing. You insert it every 3 weeks. Remove it for a week to get your period, then put a new one in. I had it for 2 months and didn't love it so I went with the Mirena IUD instead and I'm very happy with that.

Good luck!

I was reading about implanon and the merck (I think it was merck?) website info says they don't know if it is as effective for overweight women because they haven't done studies using it with overweight women.

 I met with my gyno last week about this issue so I would be prepared and have a plan after surgery.   She told me that the BCP (non-estrogen)  I am on will be fine...  she has had many patients who have had the surgery and malabsorption has not been an issue with it.   For me personally, I am going to follow her advice, after all this is her field of expertise.  

I would suggest you meet with your gyno and get his/her input.   

Good Luck!

 I don't have birth control issues but I've been on this board  a long time and have seen plenty of women posting they were pregnant when using the pill. My doctor recommended 2 forms of birth control.
