Pills And Patch Make Me Nauseous, Would Nuva Ring Be Better? Posted: 06-15-05 08:43am
I thought about having an iud put in, but
don't want that in my body. The birth
control pills and the patch make me really
nauseous. Has anyone had continual
nausea with pills and patch but not had
nausea with the nuva ring????

I haven't tried the pills or patch because
I don't think that I would remember to
take a pill every day and I heard about
the nuvaring before I knew about the
patch. If these make you nauseaus I
would not try the nuvaring.
I put it in and one week later I was
having migraine after migraine for three
days before I finally removed it and said
no more. The nausea was probably the
worst it's been for a migraine for me and
I started having hallucinations also.
I believe that it's probably the hormones
in the ring that cause these effects so
for me anyways I am going to try to avoid
hormone base birth control in the future.

Hi, my advice would be to get the shot. I
think you only have to get it every three
or six months and a couple of my friends
use that method. You would not get your
period, well, ever. You might have some
spotting the first couple of months but
other than that I guess its pretty
effective. Plus you could have your
doctor mail you something or give you a
call when you need a reminder to come in,
so remembering isnt a prob. Hope that
helps!

Different methods affect everyone
differently. What one person doesn't
like may work wonderful for you.
You didn't mention what pill you tried -
there could be one that doesn't cause
nausea for you. You could check with
your doctor about trying different ones.
Otherwise, like nicolem said, you may want
to consider depo provera. It's given by
shot every three months. You should talk
to your doctor or nurse about it's
possible side effects and if it would be
right for you.
As far as the nuvaring, I don't know
anyone who has tried it or heard anything
about it - good or bad - may be something
to consider though.

OMG. I had the weirdest hallucinations on
the NuvaRing. I had to stop after 15
months because I kept having olfactory and
auditory hallucinations. After 6 months,
it's starting to stop. This drug stays in
my system for a long time. It's almost 7
months now, and I'm finally feeling normal
again. I'm with you--never a hormone-based
contraceptive again!
