Haha loves the humour on abstinence- only failed once in the history of the world 😂😂😭. Love your videos, they are so informative and you are such a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for the good work💞
Dr. Greene can you do a video on why doctors oppose medical sterilization for “young” women? I put “young” in quotes because I have known women in their 20s who made up in their minds that they did not want to have children or did not want another child after just having one baby. They told their doctor this but the doctor rejected their request because their reasoning was “you could change your mind later.” And I’ve heard this excuse from many doctors. When doctors say this It sends the message that you need to be of a particular age to identify what your wants/needs are as a woman.
I have struggled with this my whole life. I have never wanted kids, I have talked to my Dr about it since I was 18 (I'm almost 41 now). I still don't want kids but my Dr refuses to help saying "I might change my mind". I just gave up thinking all Dr.'s would say the same thing and have been on the depo shot since 18 (always had very heavy period, cramping and long lasting periods *3 weeks every 9-12 months*). At this point I'm just waiting for menopause to kick in, it's been very discouraging.
@@kristen6074I totally see why you’d be discouraged. You are an adult capable of making sound decisions about your body. For a doctor to say “no” it’s like you’re indirectly telling the patient “I know what is best for you more than you know what is best for you” because essentially that’s what it comes down too and that is wrong. If we can legalize abortions then women should also have the right to want to remove their own reproductive organs. ✊🏾
Yes... I got less than a year left for my implant (then it would "expire"), but I am removing it in a month only because smearing and bleeding getting too much - I am now "clean" after two months, but who knows for how long though.
I dont know how i did it for 3 years that crap was crazy but it worked for not having a baby Maybe because your bleeding the whole month so it decrease sex
You are spot on for suggesting Nexplanon; however I do find it quite peculiar that you didn’t mention Vasectomy; don’t they have a similar failure rate?
Because it would require surgery & they might decide to have kids later on in life. Then you would have to do surgery again. Cost-effective without surgery
@@NovaValentine000 Yes I understand it won’t be ideal for everyone. But for top birth control I do believe it should have been mentioned for those that are done.
Nexplanon is the worst, completely decrease libido, had my vaginal dry ass hell, the worst migraine ever, random spotting lasting days at a time, and I still had periods. Not to mention weight gain and depression.
I had Paraguard iud. I was on multiple hormone birth controls and they didn’t work for me on the patch I had non stop headaches and on the lowest hormone pill I was a complete bit*h I got such horrible mood swings I thought I could seriously hurt someone. So from there I got on the cooper iud..loved it it’s good for 12 years I had it in for 8 years no issues.. I recently got it out in December and got pregnant in February.
I have the Paraguard, and I like that it's very effective, but I don't like that my periods got heavier. So gross. I hate it. I will switch to the hormonal IUD next time I change. I don't know if I will hate that too, but I just want to keep trying different things.
What birth control do you recommend for a 40 year old woman? We have been using condoms, but I would like to start birth control since we are finished having chidren.
Yeah I was thinking about all the failed attempts at abstinence probably make it the highest failure rate as a birth control. Unless you and your partner are 100% asexul and don't need sex in the relationship. Why do you think there's so many teen pregnancies?
Joking aside, I had nexplanon and it was okay in the beginning. My periods were nonexistent until I had it for 1.5 years and I had periods for 2 weeks straight. Got pregnant (on purpose) a year later and then got Paragard. It was totally easy to get in!! I had it for two years but it made my periods heavy and crappy. But it wasn’t “too” bad. I would probably get it again after my husband and I are done trying to have another baby. AND THEN THAT MAN BETTER GET SNIPPED. Lmao
I have pmdd, and I seriously worry about my mindset after the birth of my baby in April. I’m wondering about the mirena IUD and if it would help ease symptoms. I know the nuvaring made me VERY moody.
I have had an iud twice. Once when I was 25 and again at 33. At 25 it was hard to lose weight but I didn't gain any. At 33 was breastfeeding and was an emotional, bloody fat mess. When i left the hospital, I had lost all baby weight. Didn't have an appetite and gained 40 llbs in 2 months. Would cry in traffic pr when i looked in the mirror. I would spot for a week then stop for about 3 months. I removed it and stared the family planning. Got pregnant again. This time will try the tubal ligation lol.
I’ve been off and on Depo for the past 15 years. It’s the only BC I’ve been on and it’s been amazing for me. Not a single negative side effect for me. I got pregnant twice when I wasn’t on it and obviously wasn’t using any other method to avoid it. lol. I just recently learned from my new OBGYN that Depo depletes your calcium and apparently you shouldn’t be on it longer than two years without a break. Which makes sense because my teeth have recently started breaking. Literally. Please ask yours if they can prescribe you any calcium supplements that your insurance may cover. Other than that, Depo has truly been amazing for me and I hope that you have the same experience. ❤️ I was due to get it back in June and didn’t because I hadn’t been sexually active for the past year and wanted to take a break. I still haven’t started a period and of course had sex a few weeks ago and he pulled out and so far the pregnancy tests are negative. 😅 My doctor said that it will take 4 months for the Depo to be fully detoxed and that’s why I couldn’t get it immediately last week. So I’ll say that if you’re going to need it at any point, don’t miss your scheduled shot. lol. I’m looking into the Nuvaring because I might want another little human one day and I also would like to keep the teeth I still have. 🥴 If anything, I’ll get back on Depo because I know how effective it is and how well my body works with it. Sorry that was so long. I hope it helped. ❤️
😂 the beginning, mmm I actually consider the 1st option 🤔. Since the iud wasn’t the best experience for me though it felt like a pinch going it.. not too bad but not the best as much I would love it to last.
Haha I'm 23 on my 3rd baby and yes I'm thinking of what I can do to NOT GET PREGNANT in the future considering my boyfriend has super sperm and our 2 kids were conceived in a month both
I'm 37 years old, 26 weeks pregnant and a 9 months baby. I want my tubes tied but my doctor don't want to do it because he say I'm young to have more kids. I really don't want more kids so witch contraceptive method do you recommend me just in case he don't do the surgery for me . I'm going to breast feed my baby. I love your channel. Thank you.
@@RedneckHillbilly-ho9md sometimes insurance wont allow and when you've been cut up so many times.. ya, it's not always that easy to be operated on again. Trust me-i tried

YES! This would be a great topic especially with Republicans trying to also take away the women's right to choose.

@@ambermarie8027 That part 👍🏾
@@sauds88 it's been frustrating for sure. But at this point I'm sure no dr would touch me to tie my tube or anything else because of my age.
Love your videos. Really helped calm my mind when I was pregnant in 2017. Glad to see new content and on a subject I'm looking into.
Awww Dr Green!❤️I haven’t seen your videos since my baby was born May 2018. I wish there were more Drs like you!🙏 You always put a

What about the patch birth control
I love your videos!! They are always interesting and you explain everything so well! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!! :)
Had an IUD once, have no idea what the nurse did but i was in so much pain i had to get it taken out and bleed the whole time i had it in
Thank you Dr. Greene. I think I'm going with Copper IUD. Very good video!

What's your opinion about Nuvaring, after 35 years old? Thanks!
What.birth control do you recommend for breast feeding mothers? Does hormones negatively affect milk supply?
tc Padilla I nursed with Paragard and had no issues! :)
Hi Dr Green. Keep up the good work. Your videos are so educational. You should consider being a lecture!😊
Lol I love this doctor! I'm at 39 weeks pregnant and all of the videos have been very helpful!

How is the Caya Diaphram not mentioned!? So much better than condoms!
Spermicide is horrible, it is like a numbing agent for the male and we can't feel anything or even get off, it just sucks.
