Pill Vs. Iud Posted: 03-12-05 21:00pm
Latex condoms make me itch. I hate them.
I struggle with depression. When I have
taken the pill in the past, I tried ortho
tri-cyclen and some other brand that was a
very high hormone dose. They made my
breasts swell to a dd, I gained 10 pounds,
I was moody and depressed and cried all
the time sometimes for no reason. I
stopped taking the pill. I went to a
couple different gynos. And talked to my
regular doctor. I was trying to get them
to let me have an iud. They keep saying
"you haven't had a baby yet, your uteran
walls don't have enough room, it will
hurt, blah blah blah" but what am I to do?
My mother and a lot of her friends had
iuds in their early to mid 20's before
they had children and they all survived.
My boyfriends best friend just got married
and his new wife has an iud. Never been
pregnant. So why are these doctors trying
to force me into a young pregnancy??? I
just want a kind of birth control that
doesn't have to pump me full of hormones.
If I have trouble with condoms, then what
does that leave me with? I am about to
try a very low hormonal pill tomorrow.
Alesse-28. I hope everything stays in
balance. Can anyone perhaps reccomend a
supplement or viatamin that would even out
some mood swings?
