There are some other birth control option for you, but you need to discuss the issue beside a qualified OB-Gyn. A lot will depend on what caused your stroke, as resourcefully as your family history. There are progesterone single contraceptives-- including both pills and an injectable (Depo-Provera) that might be appropriate, since estrogen is often the primary concern.

Another option is an IUD, which is inserted into the uterus. There are some that contain hormones, but others that don't.

Since you've get a long reproductive life ahead of you, it's a great time to start conversation to your doctor about your plans for preventing a pregnancy and planning your ethnic group. If you don't have a doctor, planned paternity can help you as in good health, and it's entirely confidential.

Whatever you do--- don't fail to notify your doctor about your medical history. The risks can be significant for individuals who take the pill near pre-existing health conditions, and it's not something to lift lightly.

Hope this help and best of luck to you!

Ladies, please help me out.?

I've hear of a couple ladies that have done so after have a situation happen similar to yours but most drs would probably not recommend it for the fear of it stirring again.

You would need to discuss this issue further near either your primary charge physician or a gynecologist (if you have one). They can make available you more specific clues based on your history overall and whether or not it's nontoxic for you to do.
