SOME women simply cannot use hormonal birth control, for those VERY SAME REASONS.

I cannot use hormonal BC, so I use a non hormonal IUD, and have for years.

You may be unable to tolerate hormonal BC, which means you may have to look into NON hormonal methods.

YES you can have an IUD.

I do not have kids, and I have never given birth.

MANY regular doctors will not do IUD'S... BUT Planned parenthood and other 'open minded' gynecologists will.

In europe, girls as young as 14 get IUD's because they are so safe and effective.

Can you buy alesse at a pharmacy? They do have a generic version. You may tolerate that hormone dosage the best.

YOU could always call Planned Parenthood and see if they have Alesse.

Some women do best on certain pills, each one is unique and you have to find your 'fit'.
