Default I've tried it all....

Currently I use the Nuva Ring. I forgot too often while on the pill. The patch gave me blisters. The rhytym method was too time consuming. Hubby says no to condom. I changed weight to fast to use the cervical cap. I haven't had a baby, so no one will let me have an IUD, and I'm too young to get my tubes tied.

Hmm, I removed the ring the week before surgery and went back on schedule 2 weeks later. It sucks having your period and the surgery at the same time!


I'm too paranoid to stop hormonal BC, so I don't know if I would return to a normal cycle. I was very irregular when I was obese. BC was the only way to stay regular. I hate having to use hormones with the side effects and all. But, it's better than 18 years of raising a child.
