What are my options?

Question

I've been to the lady doctor and they mentioned the best option for me is the little IUD. But there's a lot of scary stories associated with it. We discussed some other forms but nothing caught my eye. I want something that could help gain weight (but of course protect me from getting pregnant). Is there any other options besides the pill? Or a certain pill?

Answer

Only some women gain weight when on birth control. So there is not garentee that you will aswell. I'd suggest pills. You have more control with those. I was on them and I only noticed a difference in my boobs and I didn't get that many spots. When I came off them my boobs got smaller (they went back to normal). But obviously choose which ever works for you

Answer

Just me, but I would avoid hormonal birth control. I had some real issues on it. My friend has an IUD and she loves it! She says it's the best decision she made.

Answer

I had a stroke at 21 caused by hormonal birth control. I'm very lucky I had few sides affects. I had copper guard, a non hormonal IUD put in 6 months after my stroke. I LOVED it. Never had to think about it or question it. I had it taken out in April and now my husband and I are 6 weeks pregnant. I will have the IUD put in once I'm ready after we give birth to baby. I seriously was so happy with my IUD
