Other Means of Contraceptions

[Bandit]

I am 49 yrs & married - Started on birth control pills at 20 but until recently my doctor would not prescribe. I am going through post menopause, have some hot flashes but still menstruating 3-4 days but very light. I am not a smoker and remain in good health. My height is 5 "7 and weight 165/170 lbs. All blood work have been normal. I would like to know what other means of contraception's that is available for a women at my age without getting pregnant.

Hi Bandit and welcome

There are several birth control methods such as the Depo-Provera shot, Nor Implants, shields etc. Your ob-gyn would know of these and which one is best suited to you. Also there is the vasectomy for your husband which is quiet effective and with fewer side effects for you. :)

Good Luck
