Contraceptive Choices

Personally I have never ever used birth control, I felt that I would wait until the right man came along, which I did. However looking at some women I know, having used birth control for long periods of time, they find it much more harder to get pregnant rather then an individual who has used it only when neccessary.

I have been on birth control most of my adult life. I have had many different type. Here are my views. Depo shot I hated and loved, I never got my period on it however one year of use and I gained 70lbs. I was on one type of the pill don't remember then name {and I should} and 9 months later my son was born. Ortho tri cylcen was the best for me it regulated my cycles and helped my skin. I have also used over the counter birth control like the gel. and to my amazement It worked and I have never gotten pregnant on it and there was no rea side effect.

After two kids, a boy and a girl, I have decided not to have anymore children.

However, I feel that tubal ligation is far too permanent. I'd like to have control over the situation were I to decide later that I'd like to have more. I had never planned on being a mom to begin with, so that just shows that minds can change.

I use the pill. It's effective, easy to take, (pills are so small I don't even need to wash it down), and my fertility is totally under my control. I also love that it controls my menses! I have no cramps, lighter flow, and less PMS symptoms! To be honest with you, i dont' see why more women don't use the pill...all these benefits and virtually no side effects??

The only con I can think of is the fact that it's dealt with daily. But it's a small price to pay, I just take it first thing in the morning, when I wake up. It's the first thing I reach for after kicking off the alarm.

MY husband and I chose to have him get a vasectomy. Now I don't have to worry about birth control and it feels great!!

I used an oral contraceptive, but I hated it as it made me sick and I had a low libido. So now I have been off oral contraceptives for several months, and feeling great! We use condoms when I ovulate for now, but we are ttc in August or September!.

I am on the Nuva Ring and it just easy! The only side effect I had at first was mild mood swings, but then agian dont most women! I feel it is a great find!
