Going for a BC consult tonight
| Wed, 11-03-2004 - 1:25pm |
A few weeks ago I posted on here asking about Depo. My dr gave my a rx. for it. She did tell me some of the side effects but after researching it, I have decided I don't want to take my chances. I think there are other options I would be willing to try first. I am going to bring up NuvaRing and IUD tonight when I go to see here. I am 28, married with no kids. I'm thinking the more I read about the IUD, the better I like it. I am HORRIBLE at taking a pill. I was on the patch but had some side effects and the dr recommended I not stay on it. I know that the IUD has to be inserted by a physician, I was wondering how long the whole process took. I also know that you have to check the string every so often which I wouldn't have a problem doing. But is that all you have to do? If that is the case, then I think this may be the birth control for me. Has anyone experienced any side effects with IUD? I have only read that heavier and longer periods are possible which I am willing to go through if everything else is as simple as it sounds. Any feedback on NuvaRing would be great too.
On another note, I visit this board often, but don't post much. I find this board to be VERY supportive and VERY informative. I just wanted to let the CL's and everyone else know that this is a great board! I have learned a lot from visiting and really appreciate all the help! Good work and keep it up :)

Right now I am totally thrilled with this IUD thing...best wishes whatever you choose:)

ps. The ring and patch were not viable things for me to try because of my weight.
Are you any closer to a decision?
