Birth Control



Recommended Posts

Hi Ladies:

I am the mother of a soon-to-be 2yr old & my husband and I have decided that we dont even want to discuss having another child within the next 5 yrs. So, I NEED some type of birth control. I had NuvaRing & ortho tri cyclen & believe they contributed to my weight gain.

With all the recalls, the horrors of regaining the weight looming, and the possible side effects of an IUD, what's a girl to do??

What are some of you doing or using for birth control?

Thank you in advance.

I just got the Mirena in December and I am very happy with it. I don't have to take a pill everyday, and it is more effective than the pill. I haven't seen a difference in my weight loss either. I was sleeved in Oct of last year. Best part is about six months after getting it you stop having a period! How great is that! I was on yaz before surgery and I think it was not helping with the weight problem and it gave me horrible acne. I am lovin my mirena.

I wil be following this closely. I have never took a birth control pill, ever. We have even been told I will probably never conceive - but now I am being told I am responding so well to the weight loss (it has only been 2 months post-op but I was loosing since January '11) that they are concerned my body may reverse "whatever" it is doing. I have not even fully transitioned to daily mushies yet, so this really scares me - that would be so bad for a child!

TMI but Hubby is like "what??!!!" when I handed him a sleeve of his own...so that isn't going to last in the long run (and is wayyy not effective enough).

I am also nervous about getting preggos! I am wanting to take a simple pill since my Hubby and I plan to have a child about 2 years post surgery~ I surely hope I don't get preggos like 6 months after getting this surgery~

I had the paragaurd for nearly 4 years and caused bloating and horrible cramps~ //// it worked though, thinking of getting the pill or paragaurd in for 18 months then have me a baby~

      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.
