Is It Safe To Have Novelon Birth Control?

hi, i am guyanese and i would like to ask a few questions. i am 24yrs old and i currently weigh 97lbs. my height is 155cm and i dont have any medical history. my question is that i am curious about trying birth control pills since condoms give me yeast infections. i consulted with a doctor in my country and she prescribed NOVELON. how safe is it? will i be able to conceive afterwards? will i gain weight? i aslo should let you know that i have had three D&Cs within the past three years. this is why my fiance and i are trying to avoid conceiving until after we are married which is in 2013. thanks. waiting on your answer

Hi,

Novelon is a very effective means of reversible contraception. It is very very effective with a failure rate of less than 0.03%, when taken correctly and regularly.
It would be advisable to you, especially since you are keen to avoid conception.Another good alternative for you would be the intrauterine copper T. It is also reversible and you don't have to remember taking a pill everyday.Also it is non hormonal.
With Novelon you will not have any problems conceiving later, nor does it cause weight gain.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
