Do you use a sunscreen for a and b rays? Over here it has a star rating to block both types of rays

I suffer too but living in the uk mine gets lighter in winter because there is no sun. My dr prescribed me a cream - pigmanorm and it's ok but had to pay £45 because couldn't get on NHS. You can try making a paste from sugar and fresh squeezed lemon juice not the squeeze bottle stuff. Rub this on to the affected area every day for a few mins and you should see a difference after a few weeks. Bit messy but worth a go.

Great advice, Traci. :)
Donna, it's like a light sunburn that peels for a bit. Recovery time is minimal. Sometimes, it takes more than one, but you should see significant improvement. Good luck and SPF! :)

I Agree with Rozberry a light peel then try using Vitamin C serum and Isomers.dark spot liberator along with there wrinkle liberator ,you wanna.use this not just to keep wrinkles away but because it has a technology called solar vitis which protects the skin against ultraviolet rays and helps to clear pigmentation problems.

My mom has Multiple Sclerosis and her meds interfered with the hormones too, she was able to get the Paragard as well! I'm so glad to hear all these these other ladies loving their IUDs I feel like I only hear horror stories but I love mine!

I love my IUD-- no hormones, no fuss, no pills. A lot of those meds are contraindicated in my case. Mine was courtesy of the military and inbuprofen before hand reduced discomfort for insertion. I am, however, terrified of the removal as I had some friends with bad bleeding. I'm stalling til I can move back by family...just in case.

Yes, I have the Paragard! After a certain age, I just felt I had to stop the hormones. Best decision I ever made. I would have paid a $1000. No worries about taking a pill everyday. And it had no effect on my periods. And yes, it is better investment. I actually wanted my tubes tied but my gyno persuaded me not to. So thats how I came to get the IUD. I was set on NO HORMONES. Its more risky when you're older like me.

I have an IUD, I've had 0 babies! :) Doctors will do it, just not all of them like Marleen said! Mine cost $525 USD but it lasts for 5 years so will end up being cheaper than the pill in the long run (for me at least) and it stops my period. However, I have the Mirena IUD that has hormones. I would suggest looking into the Paragard which I think is the one Marleen is talking about. :)
