how safe is it to not have a period ? Posted: 02-06-08 10:20am
A couple of months ago my ob/gyn informed
me that I was a "prime canidate" for the
Nuva Ring. She also told me that I could
use it all month long instead of the
normal two weeks on one week off method.
She told me that it would allow me to
not have to deal with ever having a period
again. As awesome as it all sounds, I have
dealt with some pretty serious side
effects because of it all , and my doctor
keeps telling me to stick with it, it will
all go away soon.
I would very much so like to hear your
opinions on this matter, I have thought
about taking it out and going back to
"normal" but my doctor insists that I keep
trying.
Thank you all very much =)

Since it has already been a couple of
months and you are still uncomfortable,
you can switch birth control methods.
You shouldn't stick with it because you
won't have a period, you should stick with
a birth control method that YOU like and
YOU are comfortable with.
Talk to your doctor. If you want off, I
would get off of it. Try a different form.
I have Mirena. Although it hurt to insert,
I don't have to worry about getting
pregnant for 5 years, unless I want to.
After my body got used to it (took about 7
months), I haven't gotten any periods
either, but I haven't really experience a
lot of side effects like a lot of the
other methods.
