  • Same here! I don't think imma do the mirena anymore. I don't like the shot. It made my hair real thin. I was thinking the type if bc they put n ur arm.
  • I heard of that!! its like a little tube they insert under your skin on your arm.. and its for 3 years.. I havent anything bad about it yet..
  • Me neither. I know one girl tht has it. Think imma go for that one. I know imma b toooooooo busy with school & baby to take pills.
  • implanon I think is what you ladies are talking about, but I don't know anyone who has ever used it.. lol.. sadly I'm going with permanent and getting tubes tied. I hate the patch, the pills suck, and depo just made me fat.. I think I would try implanon or the nuva ring...
  • Yes its called Implanon.
  • I am scared of mirena now too read to many horror stories. I don't like horomone bc like the pill I believe. I will most likely stick with the trusty old rythymn method hasn't failed me yet.
  • Ive only ever known of one person to have implanon. She went kinda...weird crazy. idk if it had anything to do with it though. It sent her hormones wild and made her emotions really erratic. Course maybe she was just undiagnosed bipolar =p
  • I'm going with total abstinence lol my hubby will be mad but hey I won't get preggers!
  • My friend got the arm one after her daughter no problems she loved it. That's what I am doing. Not doing the pill I got pregnant on that lol.
  • I loved my implanon. Ill be going back on it after my baby is born since its the same as a mini pill I can still breast-feed with no problems
  • My hubby is getting a vasectomy. We've used condoms for years because hormonal bc makes me gain weight. I would ask your dr about their experiences with Mirena...I've read a lot of negative things about it, but everyone I know who has it in real life loves it.
  • My aunt and sister both attempted to use the mirena and both said it hurt horribly and had it taken out.... I want the ARM thing!
  • Has anyone ever heard any complaints from people who got their tubes tied? That's what im wanting to do but I don't know if there are any side effects or anything
  • Nuvo Ring?? Any bad reviews on that?
  • @beautifulone. I used nuva ring and liked for the most part but I would get headaches when I used it.
  • Wuts the rhythm method??
  • For me im sticking with something simple...the pill.
    Im not big on having something put in me ..
  • @beautifulone u have to keep the nuva ring in place ...or it doesn't work... adjusting it would seem.like a pain in the ass to me. N a big worry tht it wasn't inplace.
  • I also had nuva ring and I hated it. It never fell out but it always fell down. I could see it with a hand mirror. And that made it hurt. I always had to push it back into place it was such a hassle
  • Welp Nuvo Ring is out for me...
  • I had the nuva ring. My husband could feel it and it would sometimes fall out during sex. So I wont be doing that. I was also looking into implanon.
