Sydney Lynn Pinckley 20 Posted January 21, 2014 I was on Yaz 2 years ago, but stopped it. I wanted to do the implant in the arm after surgery, but everyone is telling me not to do it. And people at work say no don't get on BC, it will make you gain weight. I have PCOS. I do want kids but want to be able to wait until I'm at goal weight for awhile. Which BC do ya'll like or reccomend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleevethefatbehind 95 Posted January 21, 2014 I have Mirena and love it. I've been losing very consistently since my surgery Dec. 2013 and have had the Mirena for 3.5 years. I have a friend who got one w/o a kiddo, though you may want to talk w/ your doctor just to make sure that it's OK for you to do that, too. 2 CBT and tuwood reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't had children and was just fine to have it placed. It's great bc it makes your periods light and might even make then go away. I haven't had a period in over a year!! 1 CBT reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niassy151 60 Posted January 23, 2014 I haven't had surgery yet. But I also have PSOS. I had the implant (Implanon) and I loved it. It will be time to get it removed in August this year. I don't need another one because I got Essure (pemanent bc) in September but I liked not having TOM ever. So I may end up getting it again anyway because I like it so much!

Tx.Doll3 30 Posted February 17, 2014 I use the NuvaRing and I love it....I started it like 2 months before I had surgery. Now every month my period is like clockwork. I start the first tuesday of the month around 12pm and I finish on the first friday around 6pm. Its amazing and I recommend it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ekmw 56 Posted February 17, 2014 I've used the Depo shot for over two years now. I don't want children at all. I also don't like having to have a period, and the Depo thins the uterus lining, so I don't have to have a period. The only real drawback, is that it messes with bone density. However, when you come off it, bone density returns to normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jouselle 45 Posted February 20, 2014 I've been on the pill my entire adult life and it's never caused me to gain weight. You can't just believe what the masses say. Talk to your doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelsi 107 Posted February 20, 2014 nuvaring! it's wonderful! three weeks in, one week out. it totally beats the crazy hormone pills (you actually don't get the weird mood swings because it's not digested like the pill) and you don't need to remember to take it every day!
