Nuvaring? Your Thoughts... Posted: 12-20-07 00:40am
Question.... I had my 6 weeks post
check-up today and I was sure to get Birth
Control... She asked if I wanted the pill
and I think it gets hecktic trying to
remember to take it.. So she told me about
Nuvaring.. It seem pretty awsome.. You put
it in and leave it for 3 weeks then take
it out leave out for a week then put a new
one in.. So I am going to try it.. I was
just wondering if anyone has or is on it
and what you think about it.. And if you
havent heard about it go to Nuvaring.com
and Let me know what you think... Thanks
Cortney

Yeah I am not to fond of that part...lol
But I think it will be worth it.. I had
asked the Dr. about the patch before she
mentioned the ring and she said they dont
perscrib them there because they cause
blood clots.. All birth control could have
that as a side effect but it kinda scared
me when they said they dont give them out
there it must be serious.. IDK...lol

well i tried that....it wasn't comfortable
for me i couldn't get over the thought of
something in me for that long .... kinda
scary to me like a tampon... it's nice not
to worry about birthcontrol for weeks but
im still a little wieirded out! Alot of
people love it though so it is really up
to how you feel about it! I was excited
about trying it out too and was
disapointed .... ask your doctor for a
sample of the pill and the ring to see
what you like better! good luck!

I only used it for 1 month because of
other problems. But I didn't feel when I
had it in. Actually putting in was kinda
weird but you would get used to it. A
friend of mine had it for about a year so
far and loves it. She says her hubby can't
feel it. But some people have said on here
that they could.

i have tried the patch and now am on the
ring. I really love the ring! I have read
people saying that theirs falls out and
isnt comfortable but i honestly have not
had either of those problems!

It's great and way easier to put in than a
tampon.
You just shove it up there. It doesn't
matter exactly where it is, as long as
it's in your vagina. I never had a problem
with feeling it or falling out: except
during sex. But if it bothers you during
sex, you can take it out for that time.
You can also leave it in for four weeks at
a time in an attempt to skip your period.

I'm not convinced about it, unfortunately.
I've been on it for about 8 months and at
first it was all good. But in the past few
months I have had dizziness as well as
extreme weight gain around my stomach, and
I am pretty sure it also makes me very
moody and causes a huge reduction in my
want for sex.
So I've decided to go off it and not be on
ANY kind of hormanal BC for a while....
and just see what happens. I have been on
hormonal BC of one form or another for my
entire adult life (and I am now 31) and I
sort of feel like I don't know who the
"real me" is because my body has always
been under the influence of synthetic
drugs! So I want to see what I am like in
regards to sex and moods when I am just
"me".... with no hormonal drugs in my
system.
Of course this does mean a reliance on
condoms as BC, which makes me feel a
little unsure, but both my husband and I
are willing to put up with the
inconvenience of condoms if it means my
health improves.
If there is no change.... ie - I am just a
moody cow in real life haha.... I will go
back on the NuvaRing.
