A Blessing In Disguise



Recommended Posts

My wife's method was relatively simple (for her). I came home from a business trip about a year after our daughter was born. Lynn tells me I have a urologist appointment. The doctor then chlorinated the gene pool a week later.

I had a teacher in high school that referred to the pull out method as "Catholic Roulette". She was written up and we never heard that phrase again.....but those of us that heard it never forgot it.

You were nice to do that. My husband refused to so I did it at age 30. I had 2 sons and that was enough for me.

shannon.... I would think about having your GYN do a complete panel on you first. I found i had more problems with the IUD then the ring. The IUD caused excessive bleeding and cramping and it migrated down into my cervix.

The Ring, i found, helped me with my hormone problems. Your hair loss could be from the band.

Keep us posted

It's not the band, I have only had the band for 3 weeks. I've been on the ring for 8 years and my hair has been gradually thinning - I'm not on any other meds. I've had my labs checked countless times & nothing shows. But one if the side affects listed for Nuvaring is hair thinning

My husband also took one for the team and went in for a Vasectomy =) I had two c-sections so he owe'd me I figured! Plus it was probably as painful for him as a bikini wax, procedure on Friday, back to work on Monday LOL. I have a boy and girl and a dog haha.

That might explain my HEAVY period last month.

      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!!
