After a long battle with my dr office and being able to get in, I am finally on birth control, lol! I got the mirena put in yesterday. It was not bad at all. I mean it was nothing fun, but it didn't hurt any more than a pap. I took a couple aleve before I went, and I think it helped. I go back next week to make sure it's staying put and then I'm good to go for 5 years (or less if we so choose). With the way things are going around here, whew!! :hehe:

Nothing :lol:

Well we use condoms. They've worked for some time so hopefully we'll be safe.

Hope it works for you and you like it (as much as you can like BC)

We use condoms and VCF (vaginal contraceptive film). Do I like it? NO but it's better than having a surprise we're not at all prepared or ready for. Would I recommend it? Probably not since I am paranoid and the past two "cycles" have had a false positive on pregnancy tests because my cycles are still not at all regular.

I am on the pill and it's not working for me. I have been on it for years before we conceived and now and I can't remember to take it. I'm so bad at it. I may try to nuva ring when I'm healed.
