Nuva Ring Or Ortho Evra Patch For Oily Skin??? Posted: 04-27-05 17:12pm
Hi all, I went off yasmin about 6 weeks
ago, I had to go off it cause it elevated
my blood pressure bad! But I loved using
it cause it made my skin oil free and no
breakouts..I know they say alot of bcp's
are anti-androgenic I forget why but i'm
wondering if any f you had any adive on
which bcp to go w/, I was supposed to go
back to my obgyn and get my pressure check
a month ago and didn't i'm also due for a
pap and who knows if she'll put me on any
bcp's if my pressure is still high..I
heard the nuva ring and patch are lower in
hormones maybe thats why she suggested me
switching to one of those 2..?!! Please
any adive is greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks so much.
Lena :)

I just started using ortho-eva, but my
doctor says nuva ring would be better for
me.
Ortho so far is wierd. It's like wearing
a bandaid, so the edge gets a fluff ring
around it.. And under certain
circumstances it moved in position and
folded over completely!
In the shower is was okay and day to day
fine. But as soon as I went to the gym
for a workout my skin got a little
oily/sweaty and the patch moved. (1 inch
up, 1 inch to right) same as when I went
into a very humid environment.
It's okay I suppose. But for me going
from depo with something in it (mono..)
similar to progesterone and then taking
evra which has progest.. And estrogen has
made me have quite a few emotional days.
Shouldn't be the case for you.
I might try nuva ring becuase you only
have to put it in once a month, but am
concerned about the feeling of having
something up there all the time, and
during sex !! Eek.
