Hi, im allergic to pretty much all the contraceptions I know about. Im allergic to the pill and mini pill. And condoms, I have to use latex free ones :roll: , the only other ones I kno about are the implant and the one that goes in your arm...I dont want either of those, and dont really want an injection in my arse. So is there anymore out there....Um prefferbly one that isnt years long.

Here is the deal..You cannto be allergic to birth control in the way you think an allergy is..Allergies cause your throat to swell, hives on your skin, and nasty rashes.

You are not allergic, you have an intolerance to hormones!

Why not try and iud? Yes it is good for 10 years, but you can take it out anytime you want!!!! So if you want you only use it for 3-4 years, and take it out and have babies!

Um well my doctors have told me I am allergic, I come up in rashes, faint, parts of my body swell up and get real bad migranes.
Anyway I dnt really like the idea of having something in me for years, and after you take it out it stays in your system for a while?
How long does the injection last for?? And cant it make your periods last the whole time or not come atall?
