Thanks Elisa-how are you and the hubby doing on this adventure together? Hugs, Sandy

Congrats! Way to go! Woo HOo!!!! What an accomplishment for you!

Lets think postive--no stricture. I had an endoscopy three times in the past. That is no biggie. You may have a sore throat after that's about it. As for the pain, I pulled a muscle and I was in pain for about two weeks after my surgery. It only hurt to eat or drink. There was a constant pressure. Once I was on pain pills I was able to relax and it healed itself. Hopefully this is it. My Friend had an endoscopy where they actually ballooned her stricture then. She said it was no big deal at all for her. She had to go back on liquid and soft for a few weeks but that was it. Good luck. Hugs, Sandy

I was very apprehensive about the Nuvaring after reading the instructions and seeing the ring. But it was sooooooo simple and easy to put in and take out!!!!!!! Easiest birth control I have ever used and I feel so secure about not getting pregnant (before the ring I feared what if I got pregnant and something went wrong with the baby). I will now stay on the ring and I won't go back to using condoms, shots, or the pill. My advice for $20 try the ring for one month and then take out and have your period. I can almost bet you will decide to continue!!! Oh yeah I am down 100 and 20 of it has come in the past months since starting the ring. Sandy

You are beautiful!!!!!!!!!!Good job!!!!!!!!!
