Bvartanian88`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll Anyone have the Nuva Ring? I`m thinking about getting my IUD removed (too much bleeding all the time) and thought the ring would be a good alternative since I know I won`t remember pills. If you have one, can you comment about your experience with it?

I used it after my first for a couple months, but it kept slipping down. I could seriously wipe and feel it. Had to keep pushing it up. Pain in the a$$. I use Mirena. Love it. I did spot for a few weeks after getting it in, but then it was fine.

I love it, it`s easy to use and was way nicer to my body then the pill or depo-provera was. I was so nauseated on BC and it went away completely with the ring. A big thumbs up here!

i love love loved it. i used it for years. it is the easiest form of birth comtrol. i had no side effects. and i loved being able to plan when i got my period...and if u do have the prob of it being pulled out during sex, you can just take it out when you are going to have sex. you are safe for up to 4 hrs of taking it out.

I wasnt on the ring but I did have Mirena put in after I had my daughter in Oct of last year. Found out at the end of April that I`m pregnant again 5 months along. Talk about shock. Had no clue and really didnt have a reason to suspect it because my doctor assured me that Mirena would be my best option and that the chances of getting pregnant on it were very rare....I beat the odds!

I used nuva ring for 2 years and I loved it. I never once had it fall out though. The only thing I didn`t like about it was when it came time to put a new one in after your period I didn`t like the yuckiness..lol I also loved that I didn`t HAVE to have my period, my doc told me if i wanted to skip periods that was fine just replace the ring every 21 days. Another added bonus it took no time at all to get preggers when we decided it was time to TTC. All around my experince with it was fnatastic but I am also aware that what is good for me is not good for everybody else.

I had it for 2 years and my ONLY problem with it was during sex sometimes he would pull it out.. but if that is the case you just wash it off and out it back in.. it has to be out for a certain amount of time for it to stop working and then you just keep it out.. have your cycle and then put a new one in. I never felt it, my guy said he could feel it but it was nothing that bothered him.

I`ve never been on it but two of my friends that we`re on it got pregnant within a year of being on it. They said the ring always falls out, especially while they were having sex.

I personally know 2 friends of mine who have gotten pregnant on that thing. They complained about it falling out and whatnot. I would definitely not get it if it were me. Not worth the risk =)

I have Paragard. I got it at my 6 week PP check up. It was fine for the first month but I`ve been bleeding off and on the rest of the time. So it`s been like this for 5 months now. Not REALLY that big of an issue, but always having a tampon in is taking it`s toll... I keep getting yeast infections.

  1. Bookworms - is anyone reading the new Khaled Hosseini book `And the Mountains Echoed`? I pre-ordered it on kindle which should have arrived today (I haven`t checked yet) but was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group read?
  2. HELP - my 3 year old daughter is developing a phobia to fluff! I feel responsible, I have a ridiculous phobia of bees and wasps - to the point it hinders my ability to enjoy playing out in the garden during the summer, it`s detrimental. My kids have picked up on this and are sh*t scared of bees and wasps, but with my daughter it was soon spiders, then ants and now, tiny black bits of fluff - which she finds all over; on her pillow etc. It`s genuine terror in her face as she screams she can see them moving and they`re `going to get her` or `bite her`. What do I do? She`s old enough to be reasoned with that they don`t move and we pick most of them off before bedtime, but she wakes in the night and starts crying that `The Fluff`s coming...!!` How can I help her? Do you think this is just a phase or do you think it`s worth seeking some sort of external, professional help to nip this in the bud? I HATE the thought of passing on my phobias and anxieties to my children - it`s no way to live to be a constant worrier about things beyond your control and I;ve suffered with anxiety and panick attacks for nearing 6 years now and can`t ever remember just feeling `normal` and `well` - I can`t remember my life before my first panick attack. This is NOT what I want for my children...
  3. On Facebook I saw one of those like pictures, a mom who sent her child to school for days wearing out of style `ugly` clothes because she was bullying another girl about her clothes. Mom`s yourselves, what do you think of this type of punishment?
  4. Can anyone relate? My 4 year old is making all sorts of amazing connections which is great that he`s thinking about the world, but some of his thoughts are quite deep. He`s a natural born worrier (gets that from me!) and I try to protect him from as much as I can but there`s things that can`t be avoided. Ie, ever since Easter, he`s been plagued with fear about getting holes in him like Jesus (he learnt it at Kindy). Well just this evening he came out with `Why do you and Margo (Grandma) have holes in your ears like Jesus? Did you get your ears nailed to a cross?` He`s also obsessed with the fear of death.
  5. Family of 4 flying Southwest tomorrow (2.5-hr flight), baby riding in carseat on plane so can only sit by window. Flight is full. Which seating arrangement would you choose...
  6. I`ve just opened up my facebook newsfeed this morning and there`s a whole bunch of photos of Saturday night antics. First there was one from my 19 year old cousin with her and her friends (looking thrashed out, dirty, bits hanging out of places they shouldn`t and just overall skanky), and another from a friend of mine who is 15 years older on a rare night out with her school friends (who are all mums) who looked gorgeous, fresh, clean, sexy yet classy (let the clothes rather than the skin do the talking - ie you don`t need your ass and boobs hanging out to show off a nice little figure) Is it just me, or are young girls looking thrashier than women in their 20s, 30s and 40s?
  7. Do you or someone you know raise their now school aged child with attachment parenting (baby wearing, never ever allow the baby to cry it out, cosleeping, baby let snacks and feedings, etc) 8f so, how does the school aged child/ren compare to their peers?
  8. You can only have three of the four when buying a house. Which do you sacrifice?
