I agree. I think each woman has something different that works for them. I just thought back to what worked best for me before I gained weight and didn't struggle to lose it and the only thing that was different was when I wasn't on ANY birth control at all. That is why I chose to have my mirena removed and have my tubes…

So now that my body has reset and everything is doing what it's supposed to I feel amazing!! I am not snacking as often, I have more energy, I don't feel sedated all the time. I was given the go ahead to start working out again and I've lost 6 lbs in 10 days. I have had some bad days in there and the weight hasnt come…

Yeah I just had mine done Monday and I felt great the next day. I went back to work yesterday and felt great, and I feel even better today. I have already noticed my appetite has decreased. I feel like my head is clearer and I am able to keep my temper. My skin even feels softer. I am excited to get back to working out…

My surgery went well. It's actually a good thing I had it done because they found some endometriosis. They were able to remove it while they were in there. Even though I just had surgery I feel good. I'll keep you updated on how it goes from here.

My understanding it isn't just the hormones that make you gain wait, it that the progesterone increases your appetite and that can never be satisfied that causes the weight or more accurately why there seems to be a struggle to lose that weight. Also I agree with @LittleNell107‌ that there is a change in shape, especially…

This just put the biggest smile on my face! How true. BC and side effects and with all the different options out there probably sounds like a horror movie series to those that don't have to deal with it. I truly believe hormonal BC reeks havoc on womens bodies...to the point they or their husbands have to have surgery to…

Thanks for all your feedback and stories. I am so excited. My husband would get a vasectomy but in addition to the extra time to make sure it takes, I think his insurance doesn't cover it as much as mine covers the tubal. I just want to get it done and over with. :)

My friend mentioned an ablation. It gets rid of the lining of your uterus. It is used for those that have issues with your cycle. No hormones. You have to be done having kids though. I was going to do it with this but my insurance didn't cover it as much as I'd like.

Hahaha I love that!!!

@jkal1979‌ I would do a lot of research about Essure before you go that route. I'll be honest the information that is out there scares me. Part of why I am wanting to do a tubal is to get the foreign objects out of my body. So I would just say do a lot of research before you go that route. @Vune‌ Yes we have gone over it.…

Yeah I agree. I don't want to take any chances either.

What BC did you go to after you had yours removed? It is a general anesthesia procedure that takes less than an hour. Besides insurance, I am having it done vs him getting snipped because with the snip you still have to wait 3 months to see if it worked, where with the tubal it is instant. There is also a short recovery…

Thanks. I'll keep ya posted.

My husband was in Afghanistan as a contractor in the beginning of the year and so I joined the YMCA and it was easy to go and workout and eat right. He came home in May and we both started new jobs and I think I have been the Y only about 10 times since then. My whole routine was thrown out of whack and I haven't been able…
