Oh Lise - sounds like maybe a good one!? Fingers crossed.

You guys are so sweet! I'll try to keep you entertained with the novella (Mexican soap opera) that is my life of romance while you recouperate. L.

See! And at least SOMEONE gets some romance!!

Another risk factor for my PE - about 5 months ago I replaced my 10 year old IUD with the nuva ring. Loved it (the ring0! Had to take it out, though, because hormonal BC (even the low dose ring) is a risk factor. So I am sans birth control! We shall have to be inventive while I weigh options.

Any suggestions? Last night, I was reading with some interest the earlier posts about BC. I knew I would be in the market. I did like the IUD, but for the last year I kept getting UTIs - at least 6 a year. My internist said she'd seen a study about an increased UTI risk with IUD. While my OB-GYN scoffed at that (and I know it is a totally different part of the anatomy), the fact is I have had the thing out for 5 months and haven't had a UTI since! So there's something to that.

My paralegal just had her tubes tied (she has thyroid cancer and is done having kids) and she thought it was a great procedure. With the anti coagulants, I don't think elective surgery is in my future.

Maybe it is just DH's turn to do something...

Over the weekend I saw my stepsister, who's husband has been snipped (after the 4th kid!). He said "It's not that she doesn't want any more kids. It's that she doesn't want anymore of MY kids!"

(By the way, MP - it's great to see you back!)

Welcome home MP! I'm heading over to OT to read the whole story. I say have HIM go for the "snip snip", but sometimes that's easier said than done. Mr. Fish says he'll do it once we move to a place with better medical care. We know too many people here that have had post-procedure complications. Ewwwww.

We'll definitely learn a lot from your experience with all of this. I'm so glad you're home and recovering.

Um, yeah, you know I'm a fan of the ring, but NOT FOR SOMEBODY WITH A PE!!! Ahem. Glad you took that out. I don't know what effect the anti-coagulants will have on your period. Maybe (again, not giving medical advice) a progesterone-only method would be good. Until Mr. MP gets snipped, of course, as we here at Thread Drift seem to have decided he should ! No elective surgery for you for awhile, missy. Interesting about UTIs and IUDs. If you get a chance to ask your doc about the reference, I'd like to see it. I cannot imagine why they'd be linked, but there's an awful lot that I don't know! Local inflammation in the lining of the uterus affecting susceptiblity of the bladder to infection? Hmmmm...anyway.

Date was nice...you know what I say...MWBR. L.

PS: There is, of course, our friend, the condom. Plus spermicide, a winning combination. (Are all the BJ lurkers gone now?)
