I am going to my gyno tomorrow to get on birth control. I’m nervous because I’ve never had to do this before, and I’m not sure what to expect. A little about me… I am a plus size girl, so I’m not sure the ring would work for me at this point--though I have heard very good things about it…and I have a (non-cancerous) cyst on an ovary… so I am not sure if that will cause any issues with bc? My mom and grandma had fertility issues with their first children (both had “Oops Babies” after, though…lol) and I am hesitant to put something in my body that will cause issues later down the road. I’m not positive on the reliability of non-hormonal types of bc, but I would rather stay away from them--as long as that is effective-- as I have heard the horror stories about weight gain, crazy mood swings, and bleeding for months at a time. I’m wondering if anyone can tell me what they like, and what has (AND HAS NOT!!!) worked for them. What was it, did you like it, was it hard to do, did it hurt, what were the side effects? etc. Even if you liked a hormonal based b/c…will you let me know so I can discuss it with my doc tomorrow? Ideally I’d like something that didn’t cause any weight gain, no mood swings, NO BABIES, no loss of sex drive (because that would be counter-productive, duh!) and no crazy long periods. I'd like something that won't last in my system for months and months afterward, if possible? Am I being too picky, does something like this exist?? What do you think about IUDs? Sponges? Diaphrams? Are they hard to use? Painful during sex? Do they stop you from enjoying it? Is it awkward to have to go and put it in? He and I have discussed this, and we’re going to use two types of bc, just to be on the safe side. Can you tell me what you think would be the best? Thanks so much! ~anne
