All New To BirthControl Posted: 02-05-08 23:57pm


Hello everyone. I'm all new to this and I'm going to start nuva ring next cycle. I just have one question: So there is no need to withdrawl if birth control is done accordingly. But once on NuvaRing... we do have one week off to have our period. During that period... do we need to withdrawl during intercourse or is it still safe not too. Thanks! I'll let you know about my NuvaRing experience!

No, you don't need to withdraw. Because just like ALL forms of hormonal birth control with placebo days, you are still protected on the "off days". Pill packs may have pills to take during the "period" week, but they are made of inert materials (normally sugar, thus "sugar pills") and do not have hormones. Just like during the "out week" for nuvaring, a pill user has absolutely no added hormones in her system during the placebo week. You don't even have to take those pills!

this is probably the my favorite because you don't have to remember to take a pill every day. The only thing I dislike about this is that I get so incredibly moody.

Can cause depression Posted: 02-06-08 22:45pm


I too have used different types of birth control and although it is said that nuvaring produces the lowest amount of hormones it has caused the greatest amount of depression. I have only been on it for 6 days and after suffering heavily without any life changes I took it out this afternoon and tonight I already feel better. I would suggest to anyone who has depression issues to carefully consider any type of birth control.
