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. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
