i have mentioned about this before but its getting ridiculous now, i am putting on weight at a really fast pace. i am 5 ft 3" was 9st, my perfect wieght so the doctor told me was 9 and a half. in the past 11 weeks i have gained and stone and a half!!!!!!!!!! i am actually gobsmaked as i am doing more excersise and eating more healthy. I new i would gain a bit of weight with the injection, and as i have stopped smoking my appetite has gotten better but im not snacking and have kept a food diary wich the doctor says is fine. i am really not impressed, if the weight was all evenly distributed i wouldnt mind as much but i have litterally got the hugest love handles (lmao) ever!!!!!!!!!! it seriously looks like i have a beer belly on my back!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why do women need to have fat on the back of their hips???? really getting beyond a joke now hmppppphhhhhhhhh xx

I put on 3 stone in 3 months while on the injection so i had to be taken off it x
CommentAuthorohfiddles
i have tried nearly all other contraception and had side affects or, with the pill, became pregnant while on it. i only have the mariner (sp?) coil left and i am not sure about that. i just cant get over the fact its all on my back it is sooo strange lol xx

Are you able to do a free session at a gym with a personal trainer? They would give u tips on how to aim for certain areas of ur body and then u dont have to go back lol cos u wud then know what you would need to do at home. xx

not anywhere local hun, i did ask the doctor about the free gym session on the NHS, but that is only reserved for really overwheight people xxx
i had trouble when i was the injection too, and gained weight, but then i have gained it taking the pill too!! : ( maybe the exercise that you have been doing has toned the muscles aswell, and as muscle is heavier thats why it seems a lot!! xxx

Can i ask what people have found the best form of contraception is? x
CommentAuthorohfiddles
well i have an appointment to get the injection done again on friday, i might ask if i can stop it and have the meriner fitted instead. how long does that last for? xx
CommentAuthormrsmada
the merina is fab i fink it lasts 5 years but i not 100% sure. its supposed to be as reliable as bein sterilised. they told me it takes around 6 months to settle and that i wud bleed until it settled but mine took just under a year to settle and it was just more irregular spotting rather than a full period and it was worth it cos i get nothing now.
CommentAuthorNicci
I had the marina but i dont think it was fitted correctly as it became dislodged and i was in alot of pain but im in a different docs now so i think i'll try again. They want me to have the implant but im really no keen x
CommentAuthorohfiddles
i had the implant and had a constant rash over the area it was put in, so i had it taken out. i think i may try the injection for one more round then if i keep putting weight on i will go for the mariner. not to keen on having things poked up me though lmao xxxx
CommentAuthoremma1234
I had the implant and its been great 6 years now just forget about it you have no periods however my sister had it and bleed constantly and i have lost weight since having it fitted
CommentAuthorNicci
LOL ohfiddles! Everyone ive spoken to on the implant are getting it removed due to bleeding-i have menorrhagia so dont want to bleed any more! Plus im really nervous about getting it put in! x
CommentAuthorohfiddles
i just hate having those sorts of things, when i had my very first smear the agent nurse was so rough, i had to go to A&E and have 2 stitches. was really not pleasant so dont really want anything poked up me lol xxx
CommentAuthormrsmada
ouch ohfiddles that sounds nasty, enuff to put anyone off. it does hurt a bit getting it in but i think its worth it x
CommentAuthoremma1234
I have always been fine with implant and lots of my friends have it and they are fine
CommentAuthortwirlyaitch
I have the Mirena - in fact am on my 4th as have been using them for so long! The way I see it is that I experience a few seconds of discomfort for 5 years of no hassle! My bleeding is regular and virtually nothing - I use a few pantie liners now a month and that's it - no hassle or stress!
CommentAuthorKatie
My doc wont give me the marina :-( I have asked them but they said I couldnt have it cos that isnt the one they use there..xx
Those who mind dont matter
