'Out Of Gas'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
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?
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.
Yes, I love it. I've been on it for several years and it's just super.

Good to know!
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.

Abstainance only birth control!

That will definitely increase your sex drive.
I should add that Ativan has been helpful for me; I know other Buffistas have taken it, and I think it's been helpful for them, too.
Ativan probably saved my life when I was going through the divorce. It was a godsend for me. (Valium was also nice, but the Ativan was much more useful, since I needed to be fully-functional more often than not.)
Huh. I should look into the Nuva ring.
