Jess - belly band was a great invention for me but I know that it doesn't work great for some people. They sell them at Target and places like a pea in the pod or destination maternity. What I did was used a hair tie and put the loop around the button, then pulled the hairtie through the loop of your pants and then back over the button so it can stretch open but not fall all the way open otherwise your pants will fall down. Then put the belly band over your belly covering your back pockets a bit and it will look like you have a tank top under your shirt. Some ladies have trouble with it rolling up your back but it worked like a charm for me!
Happy Friday ladies! I'm off to a graduation party and rehearsal dinner tonight and then to a wedding tomorrow! I'm happy to say my face is ALREADY almost completely clear again! Just old breakouts healing. I'm in SHOCK that it's clearing so fast. Kirk didn't believe me that I could possibly be seeing differences already and I totally am! I have way less anxiety, my constant belly tenderness is gone (I didn't realize I had that until they took it out) and now I'm having what I think is a progesterone drop induced AF like thing - temp dropped yesterday morning. As weird as it sounds, it feels good to have some sort of period as the mirena stops AF - just got spotting every month and I didn't have a period between Oakley and mirena so it's been a very long time since I've had a real AF. I can't tell you girls how happy I am to have that thing out - I know it works great for some people but not for me!
