Vegan Holistic Advice?

Question

To my fellow vegans out there, what birth control do you use? I really don't want to use something that releases hormones in me, it just weirds me out to mess with my body like that. What other effective methods are out there (besides just not having sex, funny but I'm actually looking for genuine advice please!)?

Answer

I’m vegan, but I have PCOS and don’t want kids anytime soon, so birth control is my only option. Idk. I think people make too big of a deal about hormones. The only reason hormones can be “bad” is if you’re getting the wrong amount or types for your body and hormone levels.

Answer

“The ParaGard non-hormonal IUD prevents pregnancy thanks to a tiny copper filament wrapped around the T. ParaGard contains no hormones of any kind—it's the only super-effective non-hormonal birth control method around. ... IUDs are safe, effective, and totally reversible.”

Answer

I have the NuvaRing. It still has hormones, but at a much lower dose.

Answer

you could use a diaphragm (it’s a female condom) or male condoms. if you don’t want to get pregnant and would like a more permanent form of birth control than condoms, pretty much every option involves changing your hormones. that’s how they all work, they have to change your hormones so you don’t get pregnant.

Answer

Copper IUD is not hormonal. You should ask your doctor about your options.

Answer

One of the IUDs is no hormones - I forget which one, I also may be talking out of my ass but I THINK I remember this properly.

Answer

The copper IUD doesn’t have hormones, but it’s an implant of sorts

Answer

Subbing. I also don’t feel like condoms are very intimate so idk what to do in the meantime... eventually my partner or I may get tubes tied/ snipped but idk
