Birth Control

Has anyone tried Mirena??

Or do you have suggestions for other BC?

I bet your doctor will have some great recommendations!

Why would you talk to a bunch of internet strangers about this rather than your own doctor?

If doctors don't know jack, why should she trust you, LingerLonger1 MD?

Abstinence.  100% effective.

Or the Pull and Pray method which comes highly recommended by 4 out of 5 uneducated teenagers.

Call your doctor.  Seriously.  Asking for a home remedy for headaches/colds etc online is one thing, but there is a reason that birth control requires a prescription and an annual exam.

<div>When I was in HS, a freshman boy and senior girl decided that pull and pray was a fabulous idea.  She got pregnant.  His family sued for statutory rape because she was 18 and he was 14.  And they won.  Moral of the story: don't be an idiot. </div>

Seeing as I have no idea what your medical history is like, or what your personal tolerance is for popping a daily pill, chaning a patch, etc, I suggest you make an appointment to chat with your doctor about your reproductive health needs.

<div>Fact of the Day: In ancient Rome women used to jump up and down in addition to drinking a potion in order to induce miscarriages (although since they did it on purpose, it would be their form of abortion). </div>

The Nest loves these questions.  They get excited about being a gyno for a few minutes.

I have the mirena and I love it! It's worked wonders for my cramping and isn't uncomfortable. Plus, there is no way to forget it.

Way to be vague. I'm assuming you mean 'Depo', which has the reputation to making ladies absolutely BSC, but you simply said 'The shot'. . what shot? The hippopotamus shot? The bird flu shot? . . .



OP, go to your doctor. EVERY BC effects people different. What works for me may or may not work for you. Internet strangers are NOT a good place to ask about medical related issues or suggestions.

I will agree with PP about talking to a doctor about their recommendations for you specifically. I have tried Depo "the shot," and it worked fine for me, but there are potentially serious side effects. I most recently was on NuvaRing also, and I liked it a lot. All meds have side effects to consider, and I wouldn't recommend starting anything based on what you hear online.
