    I have a bad history of losing weight = getting pregnant!! I have PCOS and so it seems that when I start losing weight it balances out my hormones and I ovulate and BAM! Pregnancy right when I'm starting to lose weight again!

    My first child was conceived sometime after I was first diagnosed with PCOS and my OB/GYN told me to do the Atkins diet to lose weight and keep from becoming pre-diabetic. I also joined a gym and worked out 4-5 nights a week. 30 lbs lost later and I popped a positive pregnancy test!! Doh!

    My second child was conceived after I joined another gym and started working out again and I lost about 10 lbs and got another positive test!

    I don't "do" hormonal birth control. It doesn't work for me and my body so we use PNP but man am I scared I will end up pregnant again and we do not want anymore kids!!


    The Paraguard IUD has no hormones. What about Condoms? You have to use some form of birth control or else it sounds like it will keep happening. I know a lot of people do not like to hear things like that, but other than not having sex at all, it doesn't sound like the odds are in your favor without some type. I would really look into the paraguard. PNP is not going to work out. There is the pre ejaculation that most men have that can get you just as pregnant as a full blown sperm attack. I really hope something works out for you. Hang in there!!

    What's PNP?

    I looked it up, Urban Dictionary says it stands for Party and play, when you use drugs then have intercourse.

    LOL party and play I like it better then what it really means, Pull N Pray.

    I have a ParaGaurd(the copper IUD)- have had it for 7 years now,it's good for 10...I get bad cramps and ovulation pains with it...I can tell you the exact moment that I ovulate bc the pain gets so intense!!! I am also having clots now, the dr tells me it is jsut bc of the interference in my uterus. I can not use hormal bc, was on the pill when I got preg. w/ my oldest (took my pills EVERYDAY) then did the shot and took 2 years to get preg. w/ my girl!!! I am having my tubes tied when I have to have the IUd out, bc I truly do not want any more children!!!!

    You need to stop the pull n pray, that is complete BS! Still just as good a chance at getting knocked up!!

    I'm trying to talk the husband into a V but he's being a wuss about it. I will look into the copper IUD more, I am just really scared of the side effects that the Mirena caused even though it was probably the hormones in the Mirena that caused them... still makes me nervous to go that route again!

    The copper won't give you the same effects since it does not have the hormones. I got my tubes tied after my son. I have PCOS as well and didn't get pregnant until I lost weight. People who are saying there is no correlation have no clue what they are talking about and don't know anything about PCOS.

    You can use Spermicide if you aren't going to use condoms.

    *Shrug* I have ovarian problems as well, but I use the Nuvaring. Yes it has hormones but it is actually one of the lowest doses on the market, and has been PERFECT for us, I love it!!!

    I havent had any side effects at all :)

    I'd say no sex until he gets snipped. He'll get it done quickly (my hubby just got it done a month ago!) Stop being a wuss I'd say to him!

    We were done having kids and hubby didn't want a V and I am scared to be put to sleep so I opted for Essure. My OB did the procedure in the office, went back a couple months later for the dye test and it was done. Essure is as effective as having your tubes tied. Not for everyone but it was the way to go for me.

    I know a few ppl including myself that used the Nuvaring and it made sex painful, it seriously BURNED afterwards.
