I love it. Love it. It's effective immediately, lasts for 5 years with no maintenance, DH can't feel it when we're intimate, and it can be removed at any time, leaving your fertile again should you want another baby. The hormones are completely localized to your uterus, so they don't enter your bloodstream. Plus my periods are much, much shorter and lighter than they ever were before. It can be pricey (our insurance covered it 100%) but I think it's totally worth talking about with your GYN.<BR/><BR/>Just thought I'd jump in and add my 2 cents. :-)Heather @CritterChronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744533868106817367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304408055161689399.post-78265010213993246282008-11-18T12:02:00.000-05:002008-11-18T12:02:00.000-05:00I feel so, so lucky that the pill doesn't affect m...I feel so, so lucky that the pill doesn't affect me at all.

I really thought my getting off the pill would encourage him to go get snipped since HE is the one going back on the "four kids" promise. Nope. BUT: I'm actually thinking of getting back on the pill because THE ACNE! Oh, dear Lord, I forgot about the horrible acne I had pre-bc! But is a blackhead-free face worth the hassle of the daily pills? How VAIN CAN I GET?!<BR/><BR/>I don't need to lose weight, per se, but I definitely need to work on eating a bit healthier more regularly. OH! And exercising, um, MORE OFTEN. I do walk at the mall during my lunch hour, but lately it's only been maybe once a week--and let's not talk about all the shopping distractions which SOMETIMES occur. ahem. So, I'll join your group. All of us could use some cheerleading!CAQuincyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821192974215349171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304408055161689399.post-70997281103870642482008-11-17T21:05:00.000-05:002008-11-17T21:05:00.000-05:00Birth control really does suck.

I don't know if my hubby will ever "get the snip", and that's OK with me. But I think it scares him a bit (to get it & also not to get it). Those are just the chances you take, I guess.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad the kitchen organizing went well. It always feels good to accomplish something big like that.<BR/><BR/>I've thought for a long while about doing a "healty" or "weight loss" blog. I'm worried I won't have enough to post about. I would be interested in doing one with you.

On the other hand, if he's in charge of the birth control and DOESN'T get the snip, I'm more likely to get that baby!Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304408055161689399.post-23744855787010675522008-11-17T14:47:00.000-05:002008-11-17T14:47:00.000-05:00I would love to give up on hormonal BC.
