your doc told you, she was pretty sure it would be impossible for you to concieve again? I know it depends on what your feelings would be if you did become pregnant unexpectedly. I feel like I should, just in case. I was just curious what others would do.
My mother was told that she would never be able to have children... she has given birth to 5. Definitely do the BC.
A good friend decided not to bother with birth control after being told by two different doctors that she couldn't get pregnant. Five years after being told that, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.
Since then, they have tried to have another, only to miscarry every time.
So, yes, I would still use birth control.
If you get pregnant, is your doctor 'pretty sure' that she will help raise that child, both financially and emotionally?
My friend had cervical cancer and had to have surgery. They told her she would never be able to conceive. She had a very surprising pregnancy 3 years later. Yes, I would stake take precautions...personally.
"Pretty sure" isn't near good enough for me not to use birth control. Doctors have been wrong too many times.
I worked with someone who was told she wouldn't be able to get pregnant at all. She now has a daughter. :)
Also have a friend who struggled with infertility for years and when they finally gave up with treatments, she got pregnant.
So, yes, I would definitely use birth control if you're not ready to have another child.
"Pretty sure" is not 100% sure, so I would stay on my birth control. I myself would not want an unexpected baby. so if you don't want any more children, then use somekind of protection. Good luck!
Always be as in control of your fertility as possible. So yes...Unless you WANT to get pregnant, use some form of birth control regardless of what seems to be a vaguely irresponsible and falsely omniscient doctor.
If I knew I was done having kids and didn't want another baby, then yes I would. There are plenty of women who are told they can never conceive again and then voile, they have a baby! If you don't care about having another, then you could take the chance, but if I were finished having kids, I would take the birth control pills.
If my doctor told me I wouldn't concieve again, I would STOP birth control in a heartbeat. I don't like meds and would LOVE to be off of it! If i did get pregnant, I would welcome my child and would be happy either way!

If you don't want another child, then definitely. Doctors can only tell you what they think will happen in the future.
it would depend on my age, health, and whether or not i wanted more? there is always the chance. if you weren't prepared for it then make sure. or at least as sure as you can ;)
Yes if I wasn't wanting to get pregnant.I know plenty of Women who were told they couldn't get pregnant and have.
I was told when I was 19 that I would never be able to naturally conceive a baby without fertility interventions....... SURPRISE!!! I have a 4 year old son and there was NO fertility intervention with that pregnancy, but he sure was a surprised blessing. So if you know you do not want to become pregnant than protect yourself, because what they tell you is not set in stone!
If you really do not want another baby and could not/ would not have an abortion, than I would still take BC or get my tubes tied or ask hubby to get a vasectomy.
I wouldn't take hormonal birth control personally. But that is because of my history of issues with it.
Now an iud or some other more long term type I would do.
It boils down to how you feel about it. IF you would be good with a 5 years down the road blessed event then no. If the thought of that terrifies you, well then better safe then sorry.
I'd use birth control, but something less invasive than birth control pills. I took them for several years with no problems but now I am older, have had my kids and don't want the extra hormones. I personally am fine with just spermicide, used every time.
I have too many friends that were told they were not able to get pregnant and went through extensive treatments to have their children, only to end up with a SURPRISE down the road, even after actively PREVENTING! So...you might want a little back up!
Yes I would take bc :)
