You are 26 and already have 3 children. If you and your husband are not planning on more kids, he could easily get a vasectomy. My husband did this after we were done having kids and it has made our lives so much easier. Neither he nor you will be able to tell he had it done.

Hi K.. It seems you need a good GYN. I am not sure who you are seeing now but you may consider changing Doctors. I recommend seeing Dr. Phyllis Yohe. She is very good and very smart she has been practicing for a long time. She is in Round Rock on Chisholm Trail. You can look her up under Women's Health Associates.

I am a single mom with 4 children and use to work for Dr. Yohe for 4 Years. She is also my GYN.

Does your doctor know you are on 3 different birth control methods? This seems bizzare. Pick one, and if the IUD is causing you problems, then don't get that again. I really think you need to talk this through with your doctor.

You are on way to much stuff. You are only suppose to take one form of birth control at a time. I would switch drs. Anyone that has you taking all that has no idea what they are doing. IUDs are not good for your body.....They cause a lot of problems down the road for women espically if you want more children in the future.

Hope you feel better soon!

Hi K.,
I would highly recommend you get off of Depo. It has some nasty side effects that doctors don't tell you about. It made me aggressive, constantly dizzy and have 0 libido. It is awful stuff and i recommend you read up on it. it is nasty stuff and i would urge any woman to not be on it. Could you give your body a break from birth control and use condoms?

I am sorry you are having such problems. Does your doctor know you are on all those birth controls? Maybe you should consider getting a second opinion. That sounds dangerous. Hope you get better soon.

Hi, I'm Johnnie Sue, I started having tremendous pain when I walk after my first pregnancy. The only thing that has helped is vitamins, I went on a diet using Relacore, and found that my cycle was regular and pain free. I passed the news to my sister who also suffered very bad pains, and it workd for her. I'm not saying to go on Relacore full time I only use it when I feel pms coming on. One dose a day and that works for me.I also found that Slow FE Iron @ Wal Mart helped. It doesn't hurt to try, Relacore also helped my attitude during pms, and believe me I had one hell of an attitude.

Change doctors and do it very soon! There's no reason you should be on multiple birth control methods and you're at greater risk for blot clots, high blood pressure, etc. You need to find a doctor that will look at your overall health and not just the 'female' part of you.

As far as your cramps and pain, I undertstand where you're coming from. First, go to any local market or health store and get Folic Acid supplements. They are VITAL to womens health. Getting your body healthy will be the best way to get rid of your pain, so talk to your (new) doctor about blood work and see where you are so you can get back on track.

Good Luck!
