Birth Control

I think they have to be clipped before getting cut, don't they? Just like the doctor clips a baby's umbilical cord before cutting it?

I guess some methods leave the clips in. I'm no expert on all the details of how it's done; personally I had the whole baby-factory removed, so never had to do the clipping/cutting thing. Which would have been SO simple, by comparison.

Slips - explained the differences in what you all meant. OK, got it now.
 
All I know is, the anesthesia wore off after delivering son during my 2nd C-Section, and I felt all of the placenta removal and the cut & tie. They literally cut real short and tied it off. The doctor was describing each step for me. Due to my leg issues, we wanted to make sure that there would be no more children and so he was quite sure I would have no problems. I felt it all and hubby passed out, literally. Luckily, I have a high threshold for pain.

You can switch, but you need to be careful and probably use condoms in addition to your birth control for the month or so in between, unless you're on BC for other health reasons.

Er, no. As long as you immediately begin the new BC, you're still protected. If I take 21 days of BC type A, and then take a 7 day break, and then start taking BC type B and take it for at least 21 days, I'm consistently protected.

Is there a reason you want to change? You can always ask another doctor for a second opinion. People rarely need to be on one specific type of BC.

Oh, really? I thought when you switched, it was generally recommended that you wait until you've been on the new drug for at least a month before it's considered "stable".
 
That was my understanding too, but I don't have any personal knowledge of it.

If you really, truly, definitely do not want to become pregnant, it's certainly not going to hurt anything to use condoms plus a BC hormone pill for a month, if you switch. Might not be necessary, strictly speaking, but a "belt AND suspenders" approach gives a bit more security.

If you "truly definitely" do not want to become pregnant, you should use condoms anyways. 1 in 100 women who correctly use the pill will become pregnant within a year of use, anyways.

Or you could use a less failure-prone method. Women who use an IUD, like mirena, only have about a 1 in 1000 shot of becoming pregnant in the first year.

A nurse once told me she has seen babies born clutching the IUD in their fists.

Then there are the people who are allergic to the condoms (yes, it is possible, I'm one of them) and would never, ever trust an IUD due to family history (yes, me again).

I also could not go on the pill, use a sponge or anything else. I had to act like we were still in the 1600's due to numerous allergies, and be careful and use my cycle and the calendar.
 
I have had an IUD before I had my tubes tied. I had to get it removed since it was falling out and jabbing the cervix causing me to bleed. So basically it became misplaced and was hanging out of my cervix.

After that I told the Doctor I want my tubes tied. *scoffs* Even that wasn't full proof. As I stated before I still got pregnant.

I hope you know she was joking!! Although it is possible to get pregnant even while using an IUD, it's rare.

Actually, my sis in law had an IUD, but got pregnant anyway. She was so worried about the miscarriage. Everything is fine now.

I took birth control pills (loestrin 24) for three years. However, it had gotten worse over the time. My doctor decided to switch it to extremely low hormones pill to alleviate the problems, but instead it was so bad. It made my life hell. Horrible symptoms- major headaches, mood swings, heart palpitations, heat wave set off, etc. I even passed out while taking shower. I knew I was going to pass out, and had to kneel down quickly before I just fell down in the bathtub. Had a slight bruise above the eye. Later, I threw all that birth control pills down in the trash can, and said hasta la vista. It took me a few months to feel normal again. I'll never ever take birth control pills again.
 
I'm never sure about him... :lol:

True that it's definitely no joke if you get pregnant while using an IUD, but the baby is not going to be born holding the thing.

I never heard that about IUD being imbedded into a baby. It is possible, for sure, for it to be imbedded into the lining of the uterus.

Damn. Read that thing, and all the cons of both the BC pills and the IUD, and you'll swear to stay a virgin. :eek3:
