The implant's not that much better than Depo. My lady has had it and is constantly debating whether to get it taken out. I wouldn't get it while you're pregnant, it could affect development of Jr.

BTW, if you breast feed your period usually stops. We thought we were good to go. Not. Our daughter was born 13 months after our son. Oops. Might have been good if anybody had ever mentioned that to either of us. But the daughter turned out to be a beautiful person, so alls well that ends well... sometimes. Lots of friggin' shitty diapers for awhile though. And also, be advised, boys can and will piss in your face while you're changing them, if you aren't careful. Good luck.

The pill.

The depo is bad, and even though the new IUD's dont have copper (I THINK, double check), I still wouldn't use them, if I was a girl.

The pill is tested, true and works. The reason for others is for convenience, but you pay for that other ways, like them being more toxic.

I know two girls personally that had the thing in their arm (Implanon?). Itchy, irritating, made them sick.. Its all BS..

Find a pill that works for you if the first one doesn't (they usually do).

Try ortho tri cyclen first. It's worked for anyone I've dated without any bad side effects. In fact I think its the first one planned parenthood will prescribe. Plus, one girl I was dating was a Acup, I dont mind I actually prefer them a tad smaller than large. Well it went from an A cup to a B'ish cup and it was a nice little surprise. I wouldn't have cared, if they went back to A. I like change, kind of like the seasons.

It works and is safe for you, and its not really that hard to take a pill around the same time everyday. Maybe the first couple of days, but we do alot of the same things everyday without even thinking about it.

An IUD is simply a "plug" that closes the opening from the vagina to the uterus. Basically it's a little plastic "T" that sits in the cervix, closing that opening so that no sperm can enter the uterus. An awaiting egg is in the fallopian tubes....or sometimes in later cycle, in the uterus waiting to be fertilized. No sperm gets to an egg to even fertilize it. It's considered a "safer" alternative to taking horomones that put us at risk for deadly blood clots and stroke. But, IUDs have their down sides..... They can cause infection and possible sterilization of the woman. That's why I'm here....looking for the best way to prevent another baby from coming too close to this one. I just don't think it would be fair to my son to get pregnant too fast.

I'm glad you're here looking, and as you said IUD's can cause infection. Like PID, pelvic inflammatory disease, as well as a substantial increase risk of ectopic pregnancy! (pregnancy inside the Fallopian tube).

The thing about IUDs though is it doesn't physically block anything by itself (its in the uterus, past the cervix), but is covered in Copper wire which kills sperm trying to get through, makes the any fluid in there sticky and thick to prevent the sperm from moving (so I guess you can say it blocks, but indirectly, due to a reaction of your body to get the IUD [foreign object] out of you), and makes the lining of your uterus much more thin. Its just very invasive, and is covered in copper or secretes hormones (neither are good, but hormones are better). Sounds like you probably aren't going with it anyways, which is good IMO.

Its soo good to see/hear about more and more patents getting prenatal care to any degree. Its not completely necessary, but it helps so so so much. There is already so much to learn about babies under the care of a doctor, let alone without a doctor.

Your baby has an awesome set of parents

Tell Poopy to pick up an extra one of these, next trip to the hydro supply shop.



You could have the Doc or a plumber install it.
With a little twist of the ol' walnut sack he can open the tap when it's time for Poopy Jr, the sequel.

i personally take nothing, CC and I are trying for a baby... lol. i took pills.... serveral different ones and all made me sick in all sorts of fun ways llol. tried ortho evra the patch, was fine for 2 years then my body started to reject it and made me sick. Dr. suggested i stop all together. I don't like IUD because.... well my dr. doesn't recommend it,for woman who get infections easily. and also a side effect is the is if you do get preg with the IUD it make stick to the fetus. but this is a 5 yr IUD i don't know if it's the same as a 10yr. i take nothing since i'm trying to have a baby, but the iud scares me lol. have you thought about tying your tubes? my moms friend had it done when she was younger and had it reversed at 40yrs and it was successful, she had a healthy baby boy after.

My personal experience goes as follows:

Othro Tri-Cyclen (28 day cycle) - took that for five years, it made me fat but my face was clear and sex sucked. I still got pregnant (three times).

No Birth Control at all - I have never been so healthy in my life. Obviously this was the greatest when my ex-husband had a vasectomy, fortunately that lead to my divorce (Hank Moody thinks that a vasectomy makes the women look at their man as immasculine). So now back on birth control.

5 Year IUD (Morinda) had that for 3 years, gained 50 lbs in less than a year and was certifiably crazy, mad mood swings and still no sex drive. The only plus with this was my periods stopped all together.

10 year copper IUD- I have had that for 2 years now, it's been the closest to using nothing at all. I have since lost 30 lbs, my new husband loves how nice I am now and sex is a constant must. The trick is to keep the "fish line" longer so it doesn't impale your lovers poor schnitzel.

Miss B , My wife has had similar issues with these "pills" etc. I will ask her tonight what has worked best with her and have her send you a PM.
