Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

oh, shit, Scrappy, I'm sorry. I hope it isn't as bad as you think it is (or your boss doesn't) or at least boss doesn't feel like it reflects poorly on your performance in general.

ION, is anyone using a Nuva ring? What's your experience been? I've been out of the birth control biz for so long I haven't kept up with what's available. My doctor wants me to try it out for 3 months and report back.

Now tagless for your comfort.

sj, I was 181 when I got pregnant with Owen and the doc wanted to keep my weight down because of the GD. With the diet he put me on I gained 9lbs. Dieting when pregnant is as much fun as dieting non-pregnant.

(((Erin))) I'm sure you made the right decision if it was that stressful.

O's bus was 15 minutes late so I said screw it and took him to school myself.

Cashmere, 9 lbs for your whole pregnancy?

Yes, I love it. I've been on it for several years and it's just super.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm not really stress eating the refined sugars all that much. More the potato, bread, and cheese food groups. Mac and cheese, cheese pizza, various cheese-based spreads on crackers. Yummy, if not nutritionally complete. And great with wine. Oh, hey, that's fruit, isn't it?

Hee.

It actually stops ALL my compulsive eating, not just sweets. I think the lack of blood sugar bounce has a lot to do with how I respond to stress.

I used the Nuva ring before I was pregnant, and preferred it infinitely to the pill. Easier to remember to use & much lower side effects.

[edited to clarify that I did not get pregnant while ON Nuva ring. It was just the last BC I was on before going off it entirely to get pregnant.]

Yeah, this is why my doc recommended it. I had a terrible time on the pill (worst side effect? lowered sex drive) last time I was on it which was ...many years ago.

That will definitely increase your sex drive.
