Best Birth Control Over 50
| Thu, 12-07-2006 - 12:39am |
I am turning 50 next month and all of the sudden very anxious about the possibility of getting pregnant. I'm in perimenopause, but still getting regular periods. My anxiety is probably related to what my body is experiencing, and also current birth control, which is not the best(condom and withdrawal). I would like something I could use with the least amount of side effects. I have been doing research on tubals and Essure, since I definitely don't want any more children. Essure sounded good until I read that it isn't that effective. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi monacheryl, welcome!
If you aren't quite ready for something permanent you might want to ask your doctor
