Reply #1: We use sterilization. [View All]

DH's - I'm working to get mine done, but we have to be able to pay for it - our insurance only covers 70% of outpatient care, and they classify anything under 24 hours as outpatient.

That said: I know two women who have had patch pregnancies: they both weigh over 170 pounds (one is almost 6 feet tall, the other is a bit plump, but it is healthy on her).

Several other of my Child-free friends and acquaintances have Mirenas - all complained bitterly about the pain of insertion, but otherwise love the things. Nulliparous women have tight little cervi.

I don't know anyone who is on the ring. One of my sisters takes her pills intravaginally because she gets nauseous when she swallows them, and will be going on the ring as soon as her insurance kicks in - Planned Parenthood charges significantly more for the ring than the pills.

The other sister was on Depo forever and is still having problems losing the weight from it; the Army kept her on Weight Detail for the entire time she was in because of Depo (and she's been out almost 6 years.)
