Oh boy. I had an iud and loved it for 3 years then at my last pap it was out of place so it had to be removed. One of the arms broke off inside my uturus. Oh joy. Anyhow so they gave me the drop shot. All was good until this month. I have been so hungry and craving so much bad food and giving in to it. I will not be taking another shot I can tell u that. Anyone else gain and have terrible cravings while on the depo??? I'm going to have to go on a Protein shake detox from all the crap I have eaten the past two weeks!!!

I'm glad you mentioned this. I hate that I have to worry so much about getting pregnant!!!!!! I am on the pill but since I had my surgery I can't remember to take it. I don;t want an IUD for the same reason you had to take yours out. I am lost!

I have never used any type of bc, my husband and I used condoms, then we stopped because we decided we wanted kids, after 3 years with no luck, since surgery we started using condoms again. I just really do not want to use other methods of bc...thoughts?

I loved loved my iud. I had the para gard. Loved it until I got it removed and one arm got hung up broke off and is now imbedded into my uturus wall. I'm one of those rare cases. Now have to have surgery to get it removed. They tried a few weeks ago to remove while I was awake. They could not get it. It was the most awful pain as I have ever experienced.

I think I'm far enough out now 19 months. 35 just got married for the first time last month. I think no more bc for us. Going to try our hand at getting pregnant. Soon as I get this iud arm removed that is.

Lol. Not in my arm. One of the arms of the iud broke off in my uterus when they removed it.

I've used the nuvaring for 6 years and I really like it. You only have to think about bc once a month and can skip your period if you need.

Although after 6 years, I'm ready to not be on bc and my hubby and I are looking into more permanent o options.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
