So I’m apparently pregnant on kyleena iud

@katrina2017 Actually nexplanon is safer then sterilization

 

[katrina2017]

@lorilyons6 Not for those of us who have issues with HBC

 

[lorilyons6]

@katrina2017 I meant it’s more effective at preventing pregnancy than sterilization

 

[katrina2017]

@lorilyons6 …is it though? I mean there are only three documented cases in medical history of women becoming pregnant after a bisalp.

 

[lorilyons6]

@katrina2017 I don’t know about what type but I saw a study on it saying female sterilization had 0.5% fail rate and male had 0.1% fail rate.

 

[katrina2017]

@lorilyons6 The most common form of female sterilization is ligation, not salpingectomy. It’s probably based on the numbers for ligation failure.

 

[lorilyons6]

@katrina2017 Well it is still female sterilization and it’s the most common one .. so

@limetownjack Nexplanon is underrated!

 

[akosua]

@sirjude Agreed. I love my Nexplanon.

 

[thorii]

@akosua I wanted to love it SO bad but it gave me my period for 8 months straight. And I did not love that

 

[akosua]

@thorii Yeah, that’s common. A lot of people have bad reactions and the unpredictable periods are annoying. Mine are unpredictable and very light but it still sucks.

 

[thorii]

@akosua After this long, I would have thought science would have nailed a more convenient solution to this problem

 

[akosua]

@thorii Right?!

 

[thorii]

@akosua Hopefully this new male birth control will revolutionise things!

 

[akosua]

@thorii Haha I have no faith in men to go through what we do to prevent pregnancy, but one can only hope!

@limetownjack Honestly this is maybe a little far fetched but I think the pill is one of the best, you don't have to worry about it shifting, expelling or falling out. IMO it's easier if you're good with it and consistent.

 

[limetownjack]

@fowebe The only problem I had with it are anxiety and depression that got really bad, I don't normally have depression... but that was over 10 years ago so maybe I'd react differently now.

@limetownjack I've been using the paraguard for 15 years with no pregnancy. It's just a roll of the dice. Someone has to be the exception unfortunately.

 

[lorilyons6]

@limetownjack Nexplanon is the safest it has a lower failure rate then sterilization at 0.05% I used that but no longer can use it so now my doctor recommended the iud … these stories terrify me lol

 

[floppy]

@tw1 So I have a question: if someone has an iud, and gets pregnant in a situation like this, would the iud make the pregnancy less likely to be viable? I’m on the pill and I’ve wondered if that interferes too, in the off chance I become pregnant.
