Mirena actually looked really scary to me (I saw it in my dr’s office during my last pap).

And Please tell me why it’s always OUR responsibility to worry about birth control? Why can’t our husbands just wear condoms?

i’m going in tomorrow for my IUD placement. and i completely understand your disclaimer. here i’m DROWNING with 4 kids five and under, and yet i just can’t shake the feeling that we’re not done yet. i would pretty much DIE if i had another baby in the next 2 years though.

I had the copper T IUD placed last week and my doc said, “either you love it or you hate it. There is no middle road.” I can understand this and currently am pleased with my decision. Hope the Mirina works for you.

Holy crap! I had the Minera put in literally 3 hours ago! I shit you not!

But mine was to control my period.

How are you feeling? All good?

Tate should wear a raincoat.

1.) you were pregnant for 18 months
2.) you gave birth- TWICE!
3.) didn't you have a 'little' problem last pregnancy with kidney stones?
4.) breastfeeding
5.) you went on the pill, and wacked yourself all out.
6.) Tate= condom!

BLAME IT ON HIS TESTICLES!

I think it is a survival thing...you spend a lot of time thinking you don't want more kids (because if you had anymore at that time you would kill everyone in a 5mil radius) and then when your kids move into the toddler not-quite-self-sufficient-but-able-to-at-least-talk-to-you-stage you
want more (to continue adding to the human race).

I vowed no more as soon as they wheeled me into the recovery room...but here we are thinking of one more. But I will say one is the last and already planning to get my tubes tied (and DH is thinking of a Vas.).

Either way, good luck whatever you choose!

I have five–FIIIIIIIIVE–children, and STILL don’t like to say “done for sure.” I think it’s smart to leave the door propped open, as it were.

I’m with you. I just can’t say FOR SURE NO MORE. Totally with you. Hope the installation goes well. Please share.

Good luck and really hopes it works for you. My husband and I have been using only ‘withdrawal’ for our eight year’s of marriage and when we did want to conceive we got lucky first try, both times! We’re now at the stage where our second daughter is approaching two year’s old and I’m beginning to think – another two would be great!

On my experiences with contracepion to date: I hate ‘the pill’ as it makes me go ‘loopy’ and condoms are urgh – but totally appropriate and a MUST when not in a serious relationship!
