    O k cuz im 22 n when the baby is born ill be turnin 23 @jenn_929
  • I have to think about it n discuse it with my husband
  • I had it for 4 years. And I love it.
  • I had the coil fitted and for me it was the worst thing i did the hospital fitted mine when i had a op . I went for my six wk check and the nurse coudnt find my threads so pressumed it fell out i started to get pains and the doc sent me for a ultrasound scan they couldnt find the coil so rulled that out. For two years i was trying to get pregnant the doctors even sent me for ferility treatment even though i have had two children already and had no problem getting pregnant they put it down to the extra weight i have now from when i had my other two. One of the test was to check my tubes to apply dye inside make sure it passes through which it did. They also inserted a balloon so they could view my womb better they found the coil it had purfirated my womb. This is why i wasnt getting pregnant i was so stressed and upset if i hadn't been trying for another the coil would have been there for ever. I had it removed last sept then nov got pregnant now i have to have a c section as where the coil purfirated its weak and they are concerned about normal delivery. So after my babys born im having the pill.
  • @loobylou the coil from the mirena got stuck j/w
  • Yep the mirena coil it went through the wall of my womb
  • They don't tie your tubes that young you have to have 3 kids or be at least 27.

    I didn't have good experience with mirena. They placed it during my period day 2 and I bleed for 6 weeks my uterus felt like I had rocks in it and always a rubbing feeling so I had it for about 6 month. No problems getting pregnant after. I do have to say I also had trouble with the second iud I got placed so its just nothing for me. My aunt has mirena since it came on the market and loves it and she has no more periods
  • No not tie my tubes, one of the tests to check my tubes were ok was to place a balloon inside my womb and inflate it then they passed a dye through my tubes, once they did this they did a scan to check the dye passed through and the tubes weren't blocked or anything.
  • I had it for 4 Yes after my little boy was born. I would say that it was convenient. Barely a period... no condom needed. The down side was my husband could always feel the string (and it is apparently is not soft ). I also had trouble carrying after. I suffered two miscarriages back to back after getting it removed. Dr thought my lining was not stronger enough to hold baby. It took nearly a year to have a baby that stuck :) so far so good with this one. 19 weeks down today. Because we are thinking of tcc again after this one.. I'm not going to get it again. Don't want to chance any MC :)
  • @veteranswife thanks i guess everybody body reactions to it differenly
  • I didn't mind the implant though but i put on loads of weight with that, the only thing that concerns me with the pill is i forget alot i hate pills lol, but will have to get use to having them.
  • Getting sterilized differs from doc to doc. My old doc said he has tied tubes of 19 year olds. I'm only 26 and pregnant with number 2, but I am getting my tubes tied after I have her. It really just depends on the doctor.
  • is there other birth control that are good i use to take the pill n i had allegic reaction i heard the depo makes u blow up is there any other ones that u would recomend
  • I was on the NuvaRing and it was wonderful! It's a round plastic piece you stick up your cooka and it stays there for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks, you take it out so you can mensturate. Once your period is over, you put in a new one and go about your business!

    It stays in, your partner can't feel it during sex (although if he puts his fingers up there he can lol), and you won't even know it's there!
  • @loobylou that terriable im glad ur alright i hate taking pills too i always forget to take my pertanals

    @bke913 i never heard that girls get there tubes tied under 25 years old
  • I'm not too sure that's why im stuck on choosing too, I hate having to rely on a little pill and after watching the program "I didn't know i was pregnant" that put me off more lol. They do a patch [evra] you can use thats 92% effective.
  • I'm hearing tht the Mirena is a very painful experience...... I just ruled that out.... n no depo.... and no pills what's left?
  • Well my old doc basically told me that just like it's a woman's choice to abort pregnancy, it's a woman's choice to prevent pregnancy. He told me several stories about patients that decided against children so he would sterilize them.

    Again, it's just all up to the beliefs of the doctor I suppose. I've heard of age limits, but I have never heard of a child minimum.
  • @bke913 I wouldn't mind trying the NuvaRing the problem i have is im always irregular so never know when my period is due or if i'm going to have one.
