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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
