    All the hormone varieties made me act like a psycho and eat like a horse. I finally just got the Essure procedure done. Its nice, no surgery just a couple little wires placed in the tubes and the scar tissue blocks them off. Took the doc like 10 min and I have been free of birth control (and additional babies) ever since.

    Please be careful with this method. I am 30 years old and just had a total hysterectomy to get Essure out. If you start noticing changes (pelvic pain, bleeding, rashes, weight gain I mean the list goes on and on) It almost killed me. It perforated out of my fallopian tube and was almost to the point of migrating. There is a whole facebook page with about 15,000 women who are having issues with it. We are working with Erin Brockovich to have it taken off the market. www.facebook.com/essureproblems Just in case you start having problems. I hope you don't! I gained 70 lbs in the 4 years I had it. Had my surgery 3 weeks ago and I've already lost almost 20 lbs. I could not lose weight to save my life with Essure in. So just keep an eye out. It took about 6 months before I started noticing problems. Feel free to add me if you want more info.

  • I feel that oral contraceptives made me gain and retain more water. The Depo Provera.... same thing.
    I have the regular IUD (copper) for 6 months and so far, so good.
