    Default 32 and unsure if I should restart BC

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    I'm a 32 y.o. latin female. Up until this past January I had been single for about 6 years. I didn't have intercourse a whole lot and when I did we would use condoms. I am now in a serious committed relationship and am having sex regularly. Although we do plan on getting married and having kids, we are not ready just yet. We tried to use condoms regularly but it's just so inconvenient as you may all know. I am so hesitant to get back on BC (i was using Nuvaring years ago and worked great for me) for fear that I am 32, no kids and I've had 2 miscarriages in the past. I don't want to have any problems getting pregnant when we are ready.

    Can anyone tell me if there is a risk in women over 30 of having problems getting pregnant after discontinuing use after about a year or two?
    I'm so torn about this and want to make the right decision. (side note: I don't have insurance so I don't have a regular doctor who I can consult)

    PLEASE HELP!!

    Default Your not alone!!!

    I am 32 years old married with two children and I am second guessing myself as to whether the pill is the right choice to make. I have only been on them for almost a month after being off for years, and my body is not feeling right. I have begin to get headaches and my legs and lower abdomen are starting to feel crampy. I don't like this at all and I will be consulting with my doctor soon to see what the deal is. It seems condoms is the best answer, but like you stated, they are so inconvenient. I don't know what to do but please get more information on the pill before you start. I am taking Loestrimin 24 fe and this is suppose to be a light pill. Maybe I am just a little paranoid because it has been so long since I have been on any birth control. Good Luck!

    I wish I had the answer for you ladies but the best way to get accurate information based on you as an individual is to go to the gynecologist and ask them. They know far more information. And if you don't have insurance Planned Parenthood is always a great option. You are not too old to go to P.P. to seek help.
