[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Low dose birth control pills. Lowers ovarian cancer risk by 40%. Grandmother died from it so this method was recommended. Also eases transition into menopause. I [b]had vaginal births so no tubal[/b] and seems silly for DH to get a vasectomy when we probably only have a very small window for pregnancy (44 years old).[/quote] I've had three vaginal births and I had a tubal ligation, so that line confuses me. It seems to imply that women who've had vaginal births aren't candidates for tubals? Anyway, the TL was the right choice for me. It was more invasive, but it was outpatient and I was back to 100% in a few days. The Mirena hormones (yes, they have hormones whatever small amount the doctors claim) and they had me going crazy, so I had to find another method. Also, is ablation birth control?? I researched and discussed the procedure with two doctors for my heavy cycle. Ultimately, I decided the risk was not for me and went with a D&C to thin a thickened lining. That fixed the heavy periods and carried less risk than ablation. [/quote]
