I start using Paragard here in a few weeks. I am sensitive to an extreme to hormones so it is the safest thing for me to use. I hear good things about the Nuvaring though. How do you like it so far?

I think for each it is different. For me even hormones in meat makes my tumors grow like crazy. Luckily for the most part they all stay under the skin or small enough to only be noticed if you are up close. I am unsure how I will like Paragard as of yet but it beats some of the alternatives (like tubal ligations and so forth). I know a few people who use it and they love it but they said its a pain in the butt for the first few months and then things evened out for them. Here is hopin'! :P

I benfited from the pill. It did not make me worse or make the tumors grow. I stayed the same with the NF. Everyone is different. I hope you can find a plan that works best for you.
