Here's my current situation.

I've been on Depo for nearly 2 years and I H-A-T-E it! I've been looking into getting an IUD, however, I've been rejected from the majority of the "low-income" health care facilities in my area because of my age. (I'll be 21 at the end of the month). Here's my break down of options:

Pill: Any kind... I cannot swallow a pill of any size without literally choking. Also, I can't remember to take one.
Patch: I'm highly allergic to the glue. I have severe psorasis (60% of my body) and anywhere I put a patch gives my psorasis a flare-up.
NuvaRing: I don't trust this. It doesn't make sense how it works, and I frankly, am weirded out by putting a ring in my vagina every week.
Depo: As stated before, I hate it. Hate the dose of hormones, I've gained a lot of weight, and I'm terribly moody.
Condoms: They can break. Plus, latex allergy on the BF part. And I get dry and chaffed from any other one.
IUD: No one will give me one cause I"m so young.
Tubal: See Above.
Essure: See Above.


Are there any other options? Are there any "methods" other than absitience that I am missing?

I have NO desire for kids... EVER. No way in hell a child with ever be birthed by this body. Ever. If I could rip out my uterus and not be reproductive. I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Tanya

To me, it seems that your best bets would be the FAM method of birth control. [livejournal.com profile] fam is wonderful and active if you've got any questions. From the jist of it, you track temperatures, cervical mucus, and other bodily signs to know when you're fertile. Your other option would be the NuvaRing, which was explained above.

You may just have to call around and talk to doctors to see if one will insert an IUD.
