  1. Welcome back! I wondered where you'd gone off to...

    Thanks. Allot has gone on in our lives. I had weight loss surgery lost 100 pounds I am now at goal. I am now in Culinary school and we are now living in Washington State. My husband has gotten himself fixed NO MORE KIDS!

  2. Hey ladies and Gentlemen

    I am doing a fast check in. My wonderful hubby is back. Has been for a month now. We tool the kids to Disney World for a week. it was awesome.

    We both are looking into going back to school. ready to be out the Army. We also might be making a move later to another post. So keep your fingers crossed for us. I am working hard in trying to get my travel business off the ground still. We are just blissful with life. I had forgotten what is was like being married. He was gone for 16 months and I am so happy with the man that came home to us. We grew so much as a couple while he was gone and I am indeed so happy.

    I hope every one is doing well. Also if anyone is looking to book a vacation let me know. I'm your gal.

    Well talk 2 everyone later.

  3. Well, I've hit my mid life crisis ( for the past year) and don't know what to do any more--I seem to be getting worse, not better.

    I have been hooked on this site for months and it has really gotten me interested in new things and experiences. Too bad my husband isn't too interested. I turned 44 yesterday and thank you, I am feeling much better today. I don't do birthdays! Just wanted to let you all know how much I appreciate your posts. They have helped me feel better about myself. :D

    Happy Birthday and welcome. Get him reading on this site and he will turn around. My husband and I both read this site and it works.

  4. Well I got it done. Only took about 10 minutes she had to keep stopping cause she was making me laugh and I would close up lol but over all it went great lol. Thanks for all the info. It really help ease my mind.

  5. As an OB/GYN physician I highly recommend the Mirena IUD to my patients on a regular basis. It is one of the most "carefree" forms of birth control there is (no pills or shots to remember, no condoms to use) and it has the added bonus of eliminate or minimizing the amount of bleeding one has. Also since the IUD does not affect ovulation at all, when/if you decide to become pregnant there is no delay in waiting for your cycles to normalize as often happens with hormonal methods of birth control.

    As mentioned, there can be a small amount of discomfort when it is initially placed and some women will have cramping for a few days to a few weeks afterwards. The cramping can be controlled with either tylenol or motrin.

    The IUD is placed in the cavity of the uterus with the string extending out of the cervix. As long as the string is cut long enough (2-3 cm) your partner typically can not feel it as it will lay down against the cervix. If the string is cut to short it can stick straight out which would increase the chance of your partner feeling it. OB/GYN doctors are totally aware of this and I've never cut the string short or seen the string cut to short. If the uterine cavity is small there is a possibility that the end of the IUD could be in the cervix and could potentially be felt by your partner. If you have had a child the cavity of your uterus will not be small (as with many other things it is stretched out some during pregnancy). Occasionally a woman who has not yet had a child may have difficulty with an IUD, but that is very uncommon.

    The Mirena IUD is also great for perimenopausal women as it can be used to help control any heavy and/or irregular bleeding they may be experiencing. I had one in place for 5 yrs before going through menopause and loved it - essentially no bleeding and what there was, was very light.

    So great choice!! Enjoy the freedom it gives you!!

    Thank u. I love the light period thing. I have have always had heavy periods so this will be a huge break. Thanks to all the advise. I will be there first thing Wed with bells on!!!!

  6. I had one put in about 4 or 5 months ago. I cramped some at first off and on. I also spotted almost everyday for the first several months. My dr. put me on some hormones for about 6 weeks. Since I have finished them, I have completley stopped bleeding. It has been about 3 weeks now. With the cramps now gone and the spotting stopped, I am loving it.

    The string is on the inside of you. You are suppose to be able to feel it with your finger. My husband hasn't said anything to me about feeling the string.

    It has not taken away my sex drive like the pills did.

    Just be prepared to give it a few months to kind of adjust and don't give up. So far, very worth it!

    I hope I won't have any problems. My husband won't be home until march so I am hoping to be used to it by then.
