A member asked:
Is there any other birth control other than condoms and the pill / iud?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Abstinence is still the best with 100% results. Bcp are the most convenient. Iuds also are effective. There is also the implantable Norplant and the Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot neither f which is as desirable as birth contra pills or the iud. There is also diaphragm and spermicidal gels. Your obgyn doctor/arnp will have the best information for you.

Ive tried BCPs, IUDs, Nexplanon, the patch, the ring.. basically everything but shots, all varying hormone levels. Was fine for 3 years on the pill, but now every single birth control makes me bleed 4+ weeks nonstop. Why?!?!?!
