Birth Control

When it comes to hormonal birth control - your SO should be aware, and I would even say included in the conversation when you decide to make a change (go on it/go off it) Hormonal birth control works well for a lot of women - and there are some women it does not work well for. Secondly, if you start dating the guy while on the pill, and you go years and years and then go off it - you may have mood changes enough that you're really kind of not the same person emotionally. This is something SO needs to be aware of right up front.

Main stream media (MSM) and society as a whole has accepted the pill to be this wonderful thing that empowers and frees women - so a DR may not offer you additional suggestions other than The Pill. This is something that a women should research and hubby/LTR should be included in your process. This affects him, too!

When I was on the pill we used no other form of protection, which essentially means all the responsibility falls to me. This is why the line of communication MUST be open. If I missed a pill or took one late I had to be honest with SO so he wasn't blindsided later if something happened, also so we could take additional precautions.

I went off the pill at the beginning of the year and I feel like so much weight has been lifted from my shoulders. My migraines are fewer and farther between plus less intense. I actually feel normal having moods that cycle through the month as looking back I felt kind of robotic. Also, I actually get horny and want to jump hubby all the time. I enjoy initiating where as a year ago I felt like initiating was so much work because I wasn't in the mood so I was trying to turn us both on.

I hope this doesn't come off anti-pill, I think the pill is a great solution for many women. Just offering some personal perspective - of course YMMV. Thank you for the post u/PerfectSunshines

Breastfeeding as birth control doesn't work for everyone.

Says the mother of two sons very close in age :)

The Essure is another sterilization method.

Personally, I love Paragard for birth control. It's immediate protection from pregnancy, no homones (although seriously heavier periods which sucks), and you have fertility upon removal, unlike some hormonal IUDs where it takes a while.

Short of heavier periods, which I got used to, it was great! The pill made me a BPD mess for one week and I gained 4 lbs in a week on it. No thank you!

I love hormonal BC pills and have only had positive side effects from them - but I'm now realizing I'm in the minority for that!

Later on today I'm going to do a little bit about the methods I use in my marriage (FAM and lactational amenorrhea), and why/how to use them. Great list, though. :)
