BIRTH CONTROL

I am really glad you posted this today. To be honest I was just about ready to quit trying this morning when I saw the scale. It was up all but 1 pound I have lost. I give it three days before I log it and if it wasn't different I was going to give up. I just switched to ortho tri cylcle lo, this is the end of the first week, I was on Loestrin 24 fe and after taking it 8 months had very irregular periods. (breakthrough bleeding for 2 weeks after skipping 2 periods during placebo week) I don't know if it is my hormones, water weight or what. I think I may be ovulating today so I don't know if that effects it but I didn't think you ovulated while on the pill. UGH I hate the pill! After we start trying for a baby in August I am finding something new.
ps.
I thought YAZ was recalled for causing heart problem??0 -
On Nuvaring... Mine fell out once... I'm assuming while using the restroom after sex, I have no idea. I just suddenly noticed it was gone. It was an awful experience and very stressfull. Since then I've switched to Mirena, which is an IUD. I have gained weight since then, but I'd rather gain a little weight and be on birth control than end up pregnant and gain a lot, and a kid to boot.0

I was on the Shot and then got the Implant. In 2 years I have put on over 60 pounds. My appetite was that of a small elephant, and it was impossible to not eat when i was hungry or i would get headache and feel dizzy. It wasn't until I was finally able to convince my gyno it was a major contributing factor to my weight problem that she finally gave in and let me use the non-hormonal IUD. It has taken 3 months for me to return to normal cycle and I have only managed to lose 5 lbs, but the important part is that I have stopped gaining and my appetite is 1/2 of what it was before.
My problem is that i can't break a plateau and I fear i won't ever be able to as I have tried everything and still can't loose a single ounce.0
