Alright ladies, birth control. I need something that won't make me bleed for months on end. I can't do pills because I'm extremely forgetful and I already did the depo. I liked the depo very well except for the weight gain. So what do you recommend?

I have the iud. Only bled for a week after and haven’t had a period since. It’s been a year already. Haven’t gained any weight. No side effects for me. Putting it in is just a tiny pinch. Then you check the strings yourself from then on out and it’s good for 5 years. But you can get it taken out any time if you change your mind

@johnell do you know what kind it is? And do you worry about it falling out I'd you have to check it on your own?

Marina. It won’t fall out. It’s implanted in your uterus. It fits snuggly. Never had a problem with it moving or anything. And it’s recommended to check it weekly. It’s super easy. Just stick your finger in and you’ll feel the strings. They feel like fishing string. And they can’t be felt during sex or anything.

@johnell okay, good. I might ask my doctor about that.

@isabellesmomma212, it’s worth a try. Worst that happens is you don’t like it and you can just get it taken out. Removal is easy. Just a pinch and a couple days or bleeding
