I have tried the pills and i find when i forget to take them i dead fro a week with cramps (which i normally dont' get at all).. i tried the Depo Provera and LOVE it. but my doctor wants me off it, because it is causing early osteoporosis (whatever that word is) "thinning of the bones".. and now i have recently tried the Evra Patch and HATE it.. i ripped the first patch off before the week was up and refuse to put on another.....
Now i am left with the Nuva ring, and the IUD.
I am scared to try the Nuva ring and don't really want to try it.. but on the other hand with the IUD my doctors have mixed concerns with it... my gynecologist thinks an IUD woudl eb a bad decision.. and i ahve jsut finished two years of tests for abnormal cells which we think is fine. theres nothing there..... and i'm nto in a married relationship. so she is concerned aobtu the risk of getting an infection while i have the IUD in place... wehreas my family doctor think the IUD is my best option.

I would honestly suggest just trying the nuva ring. I used it for awhile and had absolutly no problems with it. But I will tell you it takes a little bit to get use to, but once you use it and you get use to it, the nuva ring is great. I would honestly look at the IUD as you very last option because there are so many risk factors with those. Otherwise you would only have the options of using your temperature, cervical mucus, and a calander to plan when you shoudl and when you should not have sex.

I have an iud, and I love it. However, if you are not in a monogamous relationship, most doctors are opposed to it, and with good reason. The iud is inside the uterus, therefore any infection or std you get can go to the uterus, leaving you infertile or with horrible scar tissue.
They are especially reluctant to insert iuds in women who have never had children. So condoms are still necessary to prevent stds and hiv.
I've never tried the nuva ring, but a lot of people really like it.

I would definitely go with an IUD, Mirena to be exact. It is the best birth control that I've ever had and I've been on just about everything! There is an extremely low risk of side effects, you can't feel it and your partner can't feel it. It's just as effective as getting your tubes tied. The insertion is a bit uncomfortable, but once it's in, that's it. No worrying about taking a pill, changing a patch, getting a shot, nothing!!

WOW!!!!! I was on the patch and loved it, how about u use the birth control method "pull out"....just kidding! I wouldnt reccommend anything else because its too risky. I hate to answer a question with a question but why didnt u like the patch, its so easy

Depo for the first couple of years causes a slight bit of osteoporosis. then it decreases to the same amount of that of a normal person...so why not just gack on that? or what about abstinance

Abstinence is the best answer until you have had your quota of babies. It also helps to insure that there is a father in the household. We are immortal through our grand children. Stand on your principles ... pun intended!
