Re: Birth control for a 42 year old woman From: Thomas (anonymous@obgyn.net) Fri, 28 Aug 1998 20:31:01 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Monique: "2nd post on nabothian noduals" Previous message: Thomas: "Re: Can Home Pregnancy Tests be done while on Birth Control?" In reply to: Susan: "Birth control for a 42 year old woman" At the age of 42 your natural fertility is lower than a teenager. Therefore, forms of contraception that would not be advised to a teenager due to low effectiveness can be used by you. You therefore have a huge variety of options and you are best to see a doctor about them. Smoking and the combined pill do not go together well in a 42 year old woman. You would have to convince you doctor that you really have given up before he/she would prescribe it. You mentioned the diaphragm gave you UTIs and a cervical cap can be used when this is the case. You other options are listed below; Condom Femedom Minipill Depot Intrauterine device (coil) Intrauterine system (progesterone coil) Male sterilisation Female sterilisation -- Dr Thomas Ind MB BS MD MRCOG St George Hospital Kogarah Sydney NSW 2217 AUSTRALIA Next message: Monique: "2nd post on nabothian noduals" Previous message: Thomas: "Re: Can Home Pregnancy Tests be done while on Birth Control?"
