Before my hysterectomy I used the birth control pill. I used LoOveral and had very good luck with it. My friend is on seasonal and loves it. I can't say much about it having interactions with your current meds because I'd already had my hysterectomy by the time I started the meds for my bp. Talk to your dr.


Good Luck to you.

My husband had a vasectomy -- solved our problems - lol. Let your partner tend to the birth control.

I take birth control pills.. Triphasil/Trilevin (spelling?) and they work just fine for me. My Pdoc was careful to give me medication that does not interact with the pill. I take Abilify and Lamictal (so I know those two have no effect) He did tell me which ones affect the pill, but I am sorry, I can't remember which ones those were... I would ask your Pdoc before you make a decision...

Oh, and I agree with Cheri, a vasectomy for hubby would be my first choice if we could get insurance to pay for it...

We are fortunate to have excellent insurance. $10 copay and snip snip. LOL.

You might want to stop by our Birth Control board -- it's very busy with lots of good information and support!


Also, here's some info on types of birth control.


Best wishes
