I've had a lot of forms of BC that worked for me at various times in my life.

I was on Ortho 7/7/7 and then Triphasil for a few years each -- no problems on either one. FAM worked well for the years we were avoiding in between our children, as well as helping time conception to get them. :) We used condoms and the sponge and a diaphragm, I didn't love any of those methods but we never got pregnant when we didn't want to.

I tried both Mirena (gave me migraines, but I loved it otherwise) and Paragard (removed because of the heavy bleeding/cramping) and while I loved the spontaneity, the side effects on both were too much for me.

And now my hubby is snipped, and that has been the best thing of all. :) I'm sort of sad to know my reproductive years are done, but just not worrying about it is such a blessing.
