Also New to Nuva Ring............ Posted: 02-22-07 17:57pm
I started the Ring about 4 days ago - I
know I should have read up on side effects
before starting (dr. didn't tell me any
).
But, after reading all of the side effects
that women are having from it (depression,
loss in sex drive, hair loss) I'm
wondering if I should just take it out.
I haven't done well on BCs in the past -
shots or pills. I get too emotional or
dizzy spells. I wanted to give this one a
go to see how it'd do. Main reason is to
have regular periods. Also, going to see
my boyfriend next month and wanted to make
sure that I didn't have my period while I
was there. Any suggestions? Should I stay
on it and see how I do?

You could stay on it and see how you do.
Not everyone is going to have those side
effects. Even if you have had bad luck
with birth control before, that does not
necessarily mean that you will have bad
luck with this one. It's completely up to
you whether you want to risk it though.
You might want to consider switching
doctors. Your doctor really should go
over the side effects with you before
giving it to you.

I know - I didn't think about discussing
the side effects until after I left the
dr.'s office. Thanks for your insight.

I think you would have started feeling
side affects by now, if you were going to.
Wait, see how it goes, you ever know until
you give it a good, solid try!

I felt side effects of nuvaring within
just hours of inserting it.

I have had more headaches, nausea and drop
in sex drive since I first started on the
ring. Also, has anyone had trouble
falling asleep on it at night? For the
last week when I try to go to sleep my
heart is pounding and I'm fully awake.
This didn't happen before. And no -
nothing I'm stressed about. And I'm in
the practice of being in the right
mind-set to fall asleep (writing in
journal and gratitude journal) so nothing
new on the mind. Just wondering if anyone
else had this side effect.
