Id love for my fh and I to have a baby. Keyword in the future. Even though I have been fat my entire life I don't have any problems getting pregnant. I have 2 beautiful girls. Id love to get the IUD but a close friend of mine had it lost 40lbs and it fell out with out her realizing and suprise she got prego. I know everyone is different. I will be checking with my drs next week for their advice. Just wanted some opinions and see what has worked for others.

I'm currently on the pill. But I did have an IUD Mirena for several years. Just a heads up, some people don't react well to the hormones in an IUD, I know I didn't. My hair fell out, I got bad acne, had raging mood swings, low libido, etc. I have a couple friends who had the same side effects and then other freinds who think it's the best thing since slice bread! LOL

I went on the pill this past October. The first month was kinda frustrating because I immediately hit a 6 week plateau, but I did start losing again and have been fine ever since.

When I went in, I was interested in Depo-Provera. My gyno said no way she'd put me on it because of the massive weight gain people experience on it. So, she recommended the pill.

I'm happy with it, however, everyone is different and the hormones effect everyone differently. I'd talk to your doc about it.

You're welcome. And I was always afraid I'd forget to take it as well, so I keep it right next to my tooth brush and take it after I brush my teeth each morning...only way I can remember.

I have the Paraguard IUD and have had it for over 6 years. I love it. Set it and forget it. I don't have strings (they think they went up past my cervix right after I had it inserted) so I have no clue if anything has changed. You're supposed to check once a month to make sure all is well. Yes, it is possible for the IUD to shift with BOTH weight gain and loss. I get ultrasounds every once in a while to make sure mine is still in the correct position. So I would say, if you want another one, make sure to be responsible and check! I can't take bc cuz they make me extremely nauseous and I can never remember to take them so I always worried.

I work for an obgyn. There are to types of iud. One has hormones and stays in for 5 years and the other is hormone free. It actually has copper on it and that stays in for 10 years. Once the iud is in place and you've had it checked a week or 2 after insertion you should check the strings once a week. We tell all our patients that you have to feel comfortable touching yourself. The strings kind of like fishing line soften over time and curl around the cervix. If you check them once a week as before you shower there shouldn't be a problem. The odds are 1 out of a 1000 will have a problem. All the docs I work for love them. I hope that helps. :)

Lol I lost my strings 3 days after my IUD was inserted. That was almost 7 years ago. I get ultrasounds every once in a while to make sure its still in place...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
