    Default Which birth control methods do YOU use?

    As I get older, I realize more and more that I don`t really want children.
    My boyfriend and I have so much that we want to do together in our lives and a baby really doesn`t fit into the mix. Not to mention the toll it would take on my body if I were to go through pregnancy and labour....I just don`t even want to think about it!

    So my question is, what birth control do you ladies use and why? Maybe stupid, but for the past 3 years my boyfriend and I have been using the `pullout` method. I am starting to get fearful that if an accident ever did happen, we would be stuck in a situation neither of us really want.

    I don`t really want to use birth control (more female hormones??), and I am trying to find other methods. Is there a birth control out there that any of you would recommend, being muscular, athletic women?

    Any input is greatly appreciated....

    If you don't want kids, why don't you try [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iud[/ame]?

    I'm on the ring, which is a low dose [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NuvaRing[/ame]... I'm happy with this method since I quit the pill last year, but it's still a hormonal-related birth control.

    Other than that, there's always condoms... but most people I know in committed and/or long-term relationships don't usually want to use them.

    If I had to think about this I would use a non-hormonal IUD.
    You guys with the huge sponsor ads in your signatures make reading the forums annoying.

    I had the mirena in for a few days, had to have it taken out due to heavy and non stop bleeding but I think that was due to the hormones because the pill makes me bleed non stop as well. So I wish they have of tried me with the non hormone kind, but I was pushed into the mirena. But having said that, if you have a shallow vagina (which I do) then the string/wire attached to the IUD can be felt when you insert your finger. That was another reason why I had it removed because I didn't like the thought of having the man feel this wire inside me. My doctor told me that men have had the wire stab them in the pee hole.... I knew I did the right thing, having it removed.....
    I have a friend who had her IUD go missing and had to have surgery to have it removed. Another woman had her IUD pierce her bladder and she was very sick for at least 18 months. Last I heard she was sueing the doctor who put it in....not sure what has happened.

    A little off topic: I have heard stories of some prostitutes with blades in their vagina. *** Shudders***

    Don't anyone tell my wife that there is such a THING as a shallow vagina !!!!!! Right now, I think she is convinced I am just HUGE !!!!! Let's keep it that way !


    Seriously, my wife has the SubMerina. And, it does make her Estrogen a little high. BUT, things have been perfect for almost ten years with that product for her, as well as convenient too. No monthly visitor at all. (She has gone through 2-3 I think in that time frame? ) So the question came up, should I get snipped, and then she could go without? She doesn't want the monthly visitor, so she is staying on it.

    Then, there is the lowered Libido question, which is a result of the hormones that raise her Est a little. Ms Sally A has suggested an Estrogen lowering product, can't recall the name, but that is one solution. With my wife's Doc, they have her on two OTC things...Pregnenolone, which is a precursor to DHEA, Test and many hormones.....and also has her on an Adrenal Extract.. Both of those have increased her energy, perked her up, and brought her Libido around some. (I used to think it was just that I all of a sudden got handsome...but I checked, its not that ! :P)

    We have two little girls, don't need another boy or girl, so it is still something we deal with. The SUBmarina has worked well for her. And she is a Mom, and just started training hard about last Dec. She has toned up, lost weight, going for that last ten pounds..... If you were already training, and were already down to show shape, starting the Merina would be a lot easier I would think. You could roll with the changes as they came, and adjust.

    Being on Merina (which kinda makes your body act as though you were pregnant ) made it hard to start training and get results. But she has come a long way and can see her finish line.


    Here is a picture of her when I get home at night...















    Right before she gets in the shower......













    And finally what I see when I get out of the shower......
    pulling me towards her like a MAGNET......

    I never tried it out! I didn't want the dam thing in, especially with all the bleeding. Once it came out, I felt relieved.

    I have a Mirena and have had no issues at all with it.

    I had the essure clips inserted into both tubes and LOVE it! It's an outpatient procedure and takes 3 to 6 months to be completely effective.
    However, it is permanent, but it was completely covered under my health insurance (my pills weren't...WTF??). I, like you, decided I didn't want kids, and was tired of taking pills/hormones everyday that were making me cranky(er) and fat.

    once I got off hormonal BC I haven't wanted to do back. Hubby and I just use condoms and when we don't want to use I use a spermacide gel (after I make sure I'm not near my ovulation week)
