Hi everyone,
a couple of years ago I went on
ortho-tricyclene... And at first only had
very little side effects, threw up day
after taking it... Then for 3 months I
seemed fine, didn't notice anything.
Then, while on my honeymoon, I started to
get soooo sick, with horrible stomach
cramping and pain, diareah (spelling??
Sorry!!) so bad that it was like water-
litterally. (sorry tmi) and very bad
morning sickness, also very full feeling
after eating, could only eat a few
bites... My weight crazy fluctuated
because of the weeks I couldn't eat. I
was too so many doctors, had so many blood
tests and the only thing they came up with
was.. Ibs. But there was no remedy, no
matter what I ate the next day I would be
so sick. I would actually miss work some
days. And this went on for months and
months. But for some reason , one of my
friends suggested that it might be the
birth control making me sick.. (thanks,
doc's.. Would have liked that suggestion
about a year sooner?!!) so I talked to my
gyn and they suggested I go on a 'lo'
pill. But before even starting it I got
so fed up with being sick that I stopped
the pills all together. Almost overnight,
all the symptoms went away, except for the
occasional if I eat something too fatty,
then i'll get a little sick again. But
this only happens once in a great while
which hycosamine pills takes away the
pain. So anyways, I have a 5 cm cyst, so
my gyn wanted me to try bc again, I tried
yasmin for 2 days and instantly the
symptoms came back. So, now we're going
to try the nuvaring... Now, you can wear
a tampon w/ it and its still okay? Also,
can u sit in a hottub with it in? Will it
affect the hormones? And can u take it
out temp. If its uncomfortable during
sex? Also, what were the side effects?
Thanks ladies for any opinions, thoughts
or experiences! I appreciate it!! ---
