whats the difference..

between hormonal birth control and non-hormonal ...i know this is a stupid question...but does it at all have to do with estrogen..?

<~~~ clueless! haha

non hormonal would be like condoms, iuds, anything that doesn't contain hormones

no my doctor an i had alot of visits because the estrogen in the birthcontrol made me sick now im on the depo shot and im fine the pill usually is what has most hormons in it

one pill that normally is prescribed when bf'ing is progesterone only, then there are the others that have estrogen in them as well. unless you are speaking of the inactive pills? (normally the ones taken the week of period)

okay..i was just not sure, i had gotten a blood clot from the pill..because of the estrogen and my DR. said about the depo shot and i was just scared...

depo isnt that bad i mean for it i was annoyed because my period was light and lasted like 3 weeks at a time now i havent had one for like 2 months but i havent felt sick from it or atleast cant blame me being sick on the shot you may spot alot in the first 3 to 6 months but thats about all

my DR. said i could choose between the shot and mirena.. im trying to get opions on which one i should get...

it truely depends on when you want your next child mirena is good but to get your moneys worth you want to keep it in for the full 5 years and with the depo you can go off it whenever but it sometimes takes 9 months to be fertal again which is something im currently worried about because once me and my fiance good in a good place in our life which will hopefully be in a few years i want another child and i dont want them spaced out too much not more han 5 years atleast so the birthcontrol you pick depends on what you want
