which form of birth control were you using?

I got pregnant on the Nuva ring 14 months post rny. She was still born and because I was so terrified of 1 getting pregnant again but 2 going thru the loss of another child I had the mirena put in after I lost Reese. I have spotted since having it put in 1 year ago but nothing major. I had thougt about the iud before but being over weight my entire life I never felt in control over anything and I didn't like the fact that with the iud or Norplant I had no control over it. I could not just stop taking it (pill) or remove it (ring) and I felt like I wanted to control what ever I could. In the end I am happy with the mirena and it allows for freedom and spontaneity. I'm suprised this wasnt required pre-op, my surgeon required a plan for birth control if you had a uterus!!

I did depo for years after, but I had also started it prior to surgery so the weight gain side effect had already occurred.  After my first child I used Mierna and it worked well for me.  Pills I didn't even try and it wasn't recommended by my dr.    Just highly recommend you do something , fertility is a big plus from weight loss for most women.

 

Good luck!

I have been told that when you are breastfeeding it takes longer for your period to return.. I'm not sure from experience, since I'm pregnant with my first child now.. Just going by what my dr's have told me.. :)

Good luck with the clomid!!!!! I too am seeing a doctor to help us get pregnant, though i do not have pcos. I started with 50mg of clomid which was ineffective for making me ovulate. I was then bumped to 100mg which did make my O according to lab results but I didn't get pregnant. So we moved to an RE and this cycle I took clomid 100mg cd 3-7plus trigger shot on CD 9. I had a sono on cd9 which showed 2 good follicles, one being a 20 :-). I triggered that night and I am now cd13. I did start progesterone suppositories today as well. Hope your road to a BFP is short ;) keep us updated :) Also, on clomid I had no symptoms... except for being dryer than a dessert. We used preseed to combat that.
