What kind of BC do you use?

 

I had been on the Pill for years and recently had to go off due to weird side effects (specifically I was taking YAZ and starting having irregular heart pains, had some tests and my EKG's were all screwed up, YAZ is known for higher instances of blood clots so i went off of it and within 4 weeks everything was normal again)

 

My OBGYN doesn't want me on any BC Pill for the indefinite future. I am pretty stressed about this as FI and I definitely do NOT want a baby for at least 2 more years.

 

I am considering The Today Sponge and a Diaphragm. I am not comfortable with an IUD or the monthly shot or the patch.

 

Condoms are obvious but suck!

 

anyway i know this is pretty TMI but if you are interested in sharing i would like to hear what works / what doesn't, etc. I am hoping there is another good option that i haven't thought of but that is probably unlikely!smile105.gif

I am having a similar (but different) situation... I ahve been on everything under the sun (norplant, pills, depo) and have problems on it all... My gyn wants me to have a "wash-out" month as she called it, for the next 2 months... BAD NEWS, this is 2 months before my wedding... She is suggesting the IUD Mirena to me... I am not sure what to do either....

Girl, you are too funny! Isn't that so strange how these medications have such a varied effect on everyone! The human endocrine system is so complex!!!

I was on Depo for years-but about a year ago went off of it cause I wanted to clean out my system and get ready for having a baby, even though it probably wont be for another year or so. But when I was on it I loved it. Didnt ever get my periods and no side effects. The only thing I didnt like was it being in my system for so long. Now I am going to try the Jasmine or whatever its called-to try and skip my period for the wedding. I am a little nervous cause I dont want to gain weight. I have heard good things about it though.

One of the girls did bring up a good point about possibly waiting until after the wedding. Is this possible? Just use condoms-I know they do suck but its so worth not having to try different BC. Maybe thats an option. Good luck hun.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
