I'd consider an IUD, now, but I 've been on the pilll so long and have had no problems with it.

Remember that Job I didn't really want to apply to , but felt I had to... got a call. i had to do an application too. which is on line - or go pick up. blech. i did the application, and foun errors in my resume. Whee. Whatever. No one picks up on the odd typos in my resume ( like completely wrong year). odd, odd, odd.

I just want to remove as many opportunities as possible for getting pregnant. I had a dream last week that I was pregnant... and it was not a good dream. The IUD seems to be a good solution that does not require surgery on either of our parts.

I just... I can't get pregnant. I'd rather give up sex.

Exactly the way I feel. No more kids. I love the ones I've got, but I'm done.

And, no, don't give up sex.

Yay!

Oh, like that takes any effort...

Not to mention completely reversible, if you ever change your mind. (Which isn't to say that you *will*, but it's not like you're asking for a hysterectomy, which seems to be your doctor's concern.)

Right, exactly! I mean, this is why I'm not wild about the snip-snip thing for Tom. That's a bit too much even for me. (But just a bit.)

my doc precribed Laxapro for anxiety, which in my case manifested itself with no real symptoms other than restless sleep, which manifested itself in--yes, exhaustion.

I'm also on Lexapro and had the same problem when my doctor upped the dose. She cut back on the Lexapro and added Welbutrin, hoping for synergy.

So far, it seems to be working.

Also, this doctor won't prescibe a IUD for me because I'm "too young" to be exposed to the completly TINY potential side effect of infertility.

I wanted an IUD, but my college doctor was wary of prescribing it to me, because she considered me too young and noted that it was expensive. I pointed out that there was absolutely no way I wanted to get pregnant in the next seven years, and she replied with, "Well, in cases of women who've not given birth, it can slip out." I didn't know what to say to that, really, except think on "I cannot wait until I get a real doctor."

Oooh! IUD *is* covered under my insurance!! $10 office co-pay is it.

"Well, in cases of women who've not given birth, it can slip out."

Huh, what? Why come?

So, I don't know if I need a new doctor or what.

Yes.

I think they prefer it if you've already given birth but there's no reason you can't have one despite that.

IIRC, it's easier to insert if you've given birth (esp. if you're freshly post-baby!), but I know my OB/GYN uses the Mirena all the time on nulliparas because it can help with some types of pelvic pain.

Me, too. They're hella expensive, though.

How much is it for you if you're uninsured? (Mine was covered, and therefore insanely cheap. 5 years of BC in a shot for less than a month's worth of pills. I love it.)
