Tri-nessa Hell/what Is a Girl to Do? Posted: 06-19-05 12:41pm
Since starting tri-nessa one week ago I
have gotten three migraines, one I have
right now and i've had it since 6pm
yesterday. This is obviously not an
option because it's giving me hot flashes
and generally making me feel crappy.
I was on the patch before this and quit
because it did not stay stuck to me (i am
an oily person I guess??) it would fall
off no matter where I put it usually by
wed. Or thurs.
Before that I was on depo provera for 4
years. I crave those days back. Alot of
people (including my best friend)
expereinced terrible side effects from
depo but it was great for me. I lost
weight and was able to keep it down, had
tons of evergy and best of all only had to
see the nurse every three months.
However, because I bounced around the
country and from doctor to doctor they
overlooked the fact I had been on it so
long so I guess i'm a shoe-in for
osteoperosis now huh?! I'm surprised I
haven't crumbled into nothing since
then.
So, I hate the pill, patch, and can't go
back on the shot....Does this leave me
with only condoms or that nuva ring thing?
I hate the idea of having something in me
all the time, makes me think it will get
infected.
That is my sob story....Maybe I can switch
to real ortho tricyclen...How much more
expensive is it???

Nuva-ring - Great Option Posted: 06-20-05 17:46pm
I use the nuva ring and love it!!! I
can't feel it at all (pushed back as far
as it will go.)
my boyfriend can't feel it either when
we're having sex.
And I don't have to change it, but once a
month.
I didn't think I would like it, but I had
a free trial perscription from their site
- nuvaring.Com I think. I tried it and
love it!!

Well I talked to my dr and she said the
estrogen levels are to high
when I get a headache I had bad abdominal
pain it felt like
my overies where throbbing felt like they
where gonna jump
right through my skin and my stomachwas in
knots I felt so sick I did vomit a few
times I know that mightsound gross but I
want everyone aware of this pill it might
work for you it might not its just your
body will let you know and I havebeen on
it 5 days now and the dr wanted to switch
me back to otclo but I had 3 periods on
that in a month and she told me since im
going off trinessa and I just got off my
period like 4 days ago to be looking
forward to another one in a few days so
this is kinda crappy if you ask me I was
trying to find a pill to help me with my
periods since I was all wacked out anyway
and its seems like im in worse shape now
go figure

Im with you sister I was a depo provera
fangirl. 7 years and counting until
january. You think you've got
osteoperosis? Haha I dont even want to
know. Yeah, I hate everything else ive
tried. The pill I couldnt remember to
take, didnt trust, and she put me on
nuvaring and I hate that too.

If you liked depo but do not want the
systemic(whole body) side effects than how
about an iud? Mirena iud has the same
hormones as depo, but in teeny tiny
amounts.
A lot of docs will not insert iud's in
women who have not had kids, but most
planned parenthood locations will.
Have you considered a mini pill? It is
like depo in that it is progestin only,
but you must take it at the same time
every day.
