Better sex symptoms and conditions

Im 22 yrs. old and have two little boys. My husband says he hopes to one day have a girl so i figured 5 years should be enough time to decide. I got the Mirena last year and the only side effect i had was hair loss,BUT i'm not quite sure if it was the mirena or from just having another baby. But other than that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I have been reading all these reviews and they were almost all negative I was wondering if something was wrong with me. Since I got the Mirena last year I lost weight, no more cramps, lightened periods, and a better sex drive(probably cause I don't have to worry if im going to get pregnant, I feel safe). So would I recommended the Mirena , YES but it clearly seems that every woman's body is different so it might be great for one person and not so great for the other.

I am in perimenopause. Femcon Fe seems to fix my bladder issues.
Better sex drive very calm. the only problem is I do not want to get
out of bed. Dreams are vivid again so relaxed could sleep all day!
Hopefully I will get used to the medicine because everything else is
much better!!!

Oh God. i am on the Depo Provera shot. My daughter is 7, I have been rotating between the patch and the shot every other year, because the doctor says its not good to be on the shot for more than a year, something about osteoporosis. Mind you, I haven't had any problems before, but i have been back on the shot i wanna say 6 months, well whatever, i'm on my second dosage. And I am blowing up!And now that i am putting 2 and 2 together, I do have a lot of headaches. i don't know what to do. I have to have birth control because I LOVE SEX. And it helps with my cramps. I mean when I'm not on birth control, I have the kind of cramps that make you feel like you are going to vomit. I'm still small but I have gained 20 pounds! That will not leave! Now i'm debating on getting off birth control all together!!! The patch was cool, but that big ass band-aid is not sexy! It looks like a Nicotine patch. And I was considering the mirena, but you said you gained weight off of that! Oh lord! And I can't take pills because they give me yeast infections! What other methods are there?? Is you know of anything Side effects or what i should consider, email me at ****** Thanks. P.S. All the problems that I was having I didn't put 2 and 2 together until a coworker's hair started falling out due to a Birth Control pill she just started taking. Side effects that I am having are: I have gained 25 pounds and I don't eat shit. Fatigue. Hemorrhoids. Small portions of acne around my hairline. Fast heartbeat sometimes. I felt a kicking feeling in my belly about 3 times. Last week when I caught a cold my vision was blurry. Can't walk up a flight of steps without breathing like a 500 pound woman. A slight headaches. Not excruciating just a dull pain that will not go away until I take some aspirin. Irritability. And gas. This makes me not want to be on any kind of birth control period. I am researching different methods now.

I had my mirena put in at the beginning of march for the one reason that my husband and I didn't want to use condoms anymore. I really enjoyed sex with no stress or mess of condoms or remembering pills..WHAT I DID NOT ENJOY was the 3 months of bed rest I had to go through starting from the second I had that F%@$#NG THING INSERTED. I wish the doctor would have shot me in the face instead. It started with the absolute WORST pain I have ever felt, exactly like all of you were saying. Im not a fainter..but I seriously came close. They wouldn't let me leave the clinic I was in such horrible pain after. My body turned white, I started sweating profusely and all I saw was black for a good half hour. It felt like they stabbed a knife through my uteris. That pain lasted a good 3 months and I didn't want to go through all that for nothing just to take it out, ya know? So I bared threw it. I gained WEIGHT THAT COULD NOT LOSE!! AT ALL!!!! I walked miles for no reason because it did nothing...and Im normally able to drop 5 pounds at the drop of a hat..this weight was freegin concreted to my stomach. I also have never had acne a day in my life and until I got it put in, now I am Miss Pizza face. Nothing works, not even proactive and its even all over my chest. And twice- I ducked down bending my body to go under a rope and something happened, I think the mirena scrapped the walls of my uterus because my whole stomach/ uterus felt exactly like mush. It hurt so bad I thought my intestines flipped upside down, I even went to the ER the first time it happened. WELL..yesterday, I had it taken out. I got fed up of being an acne faced fatty just for better sex. NOT WORTH IT. oh and periods? Yeah, I like 2 and a half week long periods and cramps that paralyze my legs. I feel 100 times better now already, I know my face will go back to normal and if I want to take a bite of anything, I don't have to worry about being bloated as if I just ate a thanksgiving meal (which by the way..I boated like a hot air balloon when I ate ANYTHING and EVERYTHING on the damn mirena!!!!). GOOD F&&^@KING RIDDANCE. and I am all in on a fatty lawsuit against this sh*t too..

I have been on the Nuvaring off and on for about two years. More discharge but I just wear a daily liner so it's no big deal. Better sex drive, fuller boobs even though they are tender, I feel great. About a year into it a got full blown migraines out of nowhere, probably due to stress and not the nuvaring but I went off and back on and didn't notice a change.....unless it took a while for the estrogen to reach a threshold that made the difference in my body and maybe I don't even realize I didn't go off long enough. So I have been on a daily med for migraine prevention, but I just don't think there is a connection and migraines do run in my family.
But in just the last month, my doc thought if I kept the nuvaring in for FOUR weeks, take it out and put a new one in right away my hormones wouldn't fluctuate as much and possibly my headaches wouldn't be triggered...it was an experiment......well I tried it and in week 6 I started light continual bleeding and haven't stopped since and it reminds me of the tail end of a normal period that just won't end! Kind of pissed off about it. I called this in and he said go back to the normal schedule.....in a few days I will remove the ring and have a week off and hopefully that will put me back to normal. Never had an issue before with the bleeding in the middle of the month.... before we tried to trick my body......

I was on Yasmin for over a year and a half and had horrible side effects,no sex drive, could not have an orgasm, got brown spots on my face,weakness in my arms and hands,thoughts of suicide , and severe depression! Everyone keep saying I was crazy and a hypochondriac! I finally went off it and thought I would feel better until I started putting on weight! 7lbs in a month. My depression is better,sex drive came back ,but this weight gain is horrible. I have always watched my weight because I have a slow thyroid. Has anyone else notice weight can after stopping Yasmin? If so PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

I have been on Yasmin for 5 months. I have had success so far - better sex drive, shorter periods, weight loss, up until 2 months ago when my skin overall started to feel very dry and itchy especially my forehead and nose and eyes. Has anyone experienced this? My OBGYN doctor said that I may have a thyroid problem. I have NEVER had this issue prior to Yasmin, even when I was on Ortho Tricyclen.
