F/U to "Frustrated"

lancyjo · March 2013

I started. Seriously just hours after I had my blood test. It figures.

I'm so incredibly relieved... I am just not ready for another baby right now.

So, now it's time to have a little chat with my OBGYN about some birth control. I can't do the pill because of the hormones, but I'm sure there's something that will work for me. I'm considering an IUD, but I'll be honest: they freak me the heck out. The idea of something foreign being semipermanent in my body is unnerving... But then again, it'd be a lot better than worrying about this again.

Yay!!! Congratulations!! I'm so happy it worked out for you!!! Good luck with your talk with your OB. I have Mirena and have been pretty happy with it. Very light periods and no issues other than some initial bleeding.

Yay, I'm glad you got it! Good luck in making your decision. One of my sisters can't take bc either and she's allergic to latex...how's that for bc options? I've heard good and bad things about IUDs. I'm sure you know that there is one that is copper

glad things worked out for you!! hopefully your ob will have some ideas for non-hormonal bc that will be a good fit for you!

What a relief! Glad it worked out the way you wanted it to

PS. Your experience made me want to increase our BC methods from 2 to 3!

Happy for you !! I think an IUD can be scary but awesome if you aren't done having babies but need some scare free sexing.

Glad you got your answer! I say get the IUD. Paraguard has no hormones! You'll be worry free in no time (: The best time have to inserted is during your period, too. Go tomorrow! (:
