So I'm finding myself at an age where Hormonal Birth controls aren't necessarily the best for me.
I'm realistically just a few years from menopause.

IUD...just no.

What forms of birthcontrol do you use and what made you decide it was the best choice for you?

Sorry if it's too personal.

I remember the first time I went to get a refill of my pill and the doctor told me they would have to change the brand because I was officially over 35. That was weird.

On a different note: am I sensing a possible Soapbox baby in our future?? [hehe]

I was switched to the mini pill last year and while it's not bad, it's kind of a hassle since it has to be taken at the exact time every single day. I don't like the thought of being a bit late and wondering if I got myself knocked up. That would be horrible. lol

I won't do an IUD. No way.

I'm thinking the Implant.

I think I'm going to stick with condoms for now. Implant is a little weird for me. Can you believe there was a time not so long ago in our country when women weren't allowed to get the pill unless they were married? Or when the pill was compared to a form of prostitution?
