Centchroman...a non-steroidal, oral BC pill

I have never tried this drug. I also did not recommend it to JJ since I knew it was not available on prescription in the US. However it IS easily available elsewhere, and unlike AAS, you will not go to prison if you're caught trying to import it into America. At the worst it will merely get seized.
I don't really know much more. On one level I would think centchroman's predominantly ANTI-estrogenic effect might be a benefit to BB females. On another level I think devices such as Mirena have a much better contraceptive activity. All in all you have to weigh up the potential risks and benefits for yourself. Prevent fertislization with almost certain negative changes in natural hormone levels, or abort very early with possibly favorable changes in hormones.....

JJ said (in no uncertain terms) that IUD was not an option for her. seems that blurp Mirena is even more effective than something like paragard, is even less likely to alter long term fertility, and has negligible impact on hormone levels (compared to nuvaring or OCs). Mirena also often results in shorter, lighter and less frequent periods compared to the longer, heavier periods many women complain about with Paragard. But really they are all good options......all better than any of the OCs in my opinions (except for centchroman of course). JJ just needs to figure out which fits her lifestyle and plans the best. I have to confess I am more than a little curious as to what effect (if any) Centchroman's anti-E activity might have for a precontest diet? Could be a good thing.........
Oh, gotcha. Missed the JJ part.
I have a paragard and I'm happy with it all but two days of my cycle. When I ovulate it's like Mittleschmirz on crack. I feel like I'm gonna pass a golf ball. I have an appointment at the end of the month to find out if I have a cyst (or soemthig like that) or if it's just the IUD. What makes Mirena different in terms of being "less likely to alter long term fertility?"
Every month I swear I'm going to have this damn thing removed, but once the storm passes I love it.
Here's my idea: Have some of hubby's sperm frozen, and then a vasectomy. Then if I change my mind, there's always A.I.

"Have some of hubby's sperm frozen, and then a vasectomy. Then if I change my mind, there's always A.I."............................Now THAT'S intelligent family planning. As an added bonus you can still have his baby even if he gets run over by a bus!
I must confess there is not a lot of direct evidence that Mirena reduces chances of infertility or that Paragrd increases it much. Over a woman's lifetime I suspect that appropriate contraception (including IUCDs) and appropriate choice of partner (to avoid infection) will prevent a lot more infertility that without adequate contraception. Certainly the chances of, say, ectopic preganancy are MUCH lower with IUCDs than without any contraception despite the belief that IUCDs increase chance of ectopic preganancies.....The pressure many doctors put on a childless woman to NOT have an IUCD fitted are, IMHO, ridiculous and unfounded with the proper use of modern devices to women in monogamous sexual relationships.

In the name of being the board guinea pig (and not biting my fingernails and saying a Hail Mary every time I ovulate), I just placed an order with this site for a 3 month supply. I'm a little annoyed that I can't pay with a credit card, and need to mail a check to India, but at least the prices are very low. I'll keep you all updated.
MS, when you say it has mild anti-estrogenic properties - do you mean it would potentially make shedding estrogenic fat deposits easier when dieting? My glute and thigh adipocytes are my arch nemeses...
