Nuvaring

"the Ring" is a new Birth Control method that is becoming increasingly more popular. it is a small plastic ring containing a low dose of hormones that steadily release in the vagina, where it stays for 3 wks. at a time. I know women are using it and would want to see it on the Birth Control Method Rating list!!

Okay, I've been using the ring for almost a year. Before the ring I was on the depo shot. I stopped depo because i decided no sex until marraige. Preparing for marriage in May 2007 I started the ring in April. I thought it was just me, stress of moving and being a newlywed etc... I have been feeling depressed, easily irritated, having headaches up 3 times a week, increased appetitite, increased bra size. i mean I've gained at least 15 pounds and went from a 34C to a 36D. My legs have been bothering me especially at night, I've been tossing and turning when i used to sleep just fine. my back pain is ridiculous, I was in a car accident in Jan 07 but my back pain has tripled. I suggested to my husband months ago that it must be the BC but I wasn't sure so i started taking vitamins B12 complex. Still feeling weird months later i decided today let me look up some other people's feelings. To my surprise others have been through exactly what I'm going through now. As of today I'm done with the nuva ring!!! My next post will be after I've been off for a while. I'm really hoping for all these symptons to go away. oh and yeah let me tell you I've had no sex drive!!! my husband basically has to everything to get me started. Believe me when I say it was never that way for me EVER...I recently turned thirty and not once have I ever had a hard time getting the mood... March 4th, 2008 @ 9:27am I'm done with Nuvaring!!!!!
