Tonight at my seminar we were told they want women on 2 types of birth control...ok. So I tried the merina which made me go insane and depressed ..and gain even more wgt! I gave it a full year and then had it removed this past March. I don't do well with hormones...so any suggestions? I don't want anything implanted in me ever again like the IUD.

I was going to do the patch, but cannot take Tylenol with that product. Sleevers already can't do Ibuprofen, take Tylenol out, nothing would be left!

I hated the mirena as well. I was on the pill which I was actually enjoying. I recently stopped because I had skin removed.

I plan on going back on it soon.

As a teenager I used depo (the shot)

Sleevers can't do Ibuprofen! I was shocked when my surgeon told me. I took Alieve daily. Now it's just Tylenol.

I did Depo for three years. It caused me to stop having my cycle for the entire time, which caused PCOS.

Can't speak to the birth control, I took care of that after my two kids! But check with your dr about ibuprofen, not all of them say never again, depends on your level of acid for one. My dr says no maintenance ibuprofen for anything long term, but I can take it once in a while for a headache or something.

Non-hormonal copper IUD, it's called paraguard. It's like the mirena but there is nothing hormonal about it! Then for your second method just use condoms

Eek! If my surgeon would have insisted on using birth control, I would have had to find a different surgeon! I can manage my own fertility without the use of birth control lol.

I use the Creighton Method of NFP. No birth control required!

You should have no trouble with the patch and it has absolutely zero interaction with Tylenol.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
