I have heard that by itself the pill is no longer a suitable form of birth control in preventing pregnancy. However I am asking if there is anyone out there that has used it as a SOL means of birth control and didn't get pregnant. Thanks!

BTW I cannot do the mirena IUD. My insurance will not pay for it and between vits and food I am tapped out on cash to pay for it out of pocket. Also, just the thought process of how they get that thing in and out scares me and I do not have the pain tolerance level to take it (I still cry like a baby getting my blood drawn).

In a world full of cheerios be a fruit loop!

Early post op, my doc advised against BC pills.  Once I got into my second year, she put me on Loestrin Fe and I was fine with no incidence.  I suffered from really long, heavy periods,  It also lightened and shortened my cycle. 

Once my baby is born, I plan to go back to that. 

Sidenote:  I was not on BC at the time of conception, so the pills didn't fail me, lol.

I just got the nuvaring to try.  Maybe you should look into that option if the IUD isn't a good idea for you.

During the first couple of years using the pill only is not recommended due to the instability of our bodies/hormones, absorption issues...etc.  I skipped the condom once at nearly my 12th month PostOp mark thinking I'm on the pill surely one time won't hurt....I was having fun...lol.  Well I was pregnant at my 12th month checkup.

I have been on the Pill since right after surgery, just like I always was. I have had no problems. My daughter was on purpose. LOL
