    Women health issues (The public version)

    I couldn't figure out a section to put this. Anywho...
    Anyone have any experience with the Nuvaring and any side effects?
    Thanks.

    Eh I figure post your questions here. Just try to use words like vajajay or cookie. :P

    I've never had any experience with the ring. I can't take birthcontrol so hubby got snipped :-\

      Re: Women health issues (The public version)

      I don't know about the ring because I can't take "combination contraceptive pills" (my translator website haven't got too wide range of vocabulary in this kind of matters ). I mean pills that have both estrogen and progesterone. That's because my grandma has died to thrombosis AND I have had aural migraine. So I take minipills, which have only progesterone and they haven't made contraceptive rings which only had progesterone.. But i wish that would be an option, because it sucks to take a pill everyday. (of course I could take a two-years-lasting progesterone capsule to my arm.... but I don't like the idea. )

            I have only had one person mention the Nuvaring to me, and it was a story about an allergic reaction, so it's not pleasant. Unfortunately, I have nothing useful :-X

              Most birth control that has a high androgen factor (e.g., male hormones) has this potential side effect. I was on Lo-Ovral for years & it started giving me male pattern baldness... so no more Lo-Ovral.

                good gods.

                All the more reason for me never to use birth control (which I don't, nor have ever even tried)

                    Yeah, but the point is that if you get side effects you change the pills, not try to suffer the side effects. :P Because it really depends on the person and the pill mark if you're getting the side effects or not and also if they have both estrogen and progesterone or just the second one. Same hormone but different pills and you might react compeletely differently. I've changed mine once because the previous ones made me grouchy.

                    Also one point in NuvaRing is that because it's changed once a month, the amount of hormones stay more stable and because of that you're supposed to get less side effects than with pills taken once per day. (Btw, i've heard two of my friends praise it and that's why I would have liked to test something similar)

                      Every woman in my family who takes birth control needs to compliment it with anti-GO CRAZY pills, regardless of brand. So I've basically vowed to never try them. That besides, no matter how I look at it, they aren't natural.

                        Okay, i guess that's an acceptable reason. :P

                        Well.. yeah.. that sucks to be honest. But I think it's a less bad thing to take them something like 5 years of your life (time you're having a serious relationship but not babies) than being afraid all the time of getting pregnant (especially with my extremely non-stable menstruation cycle). After (hopefully) having babies some day I think I'm gonna get a coil.

                              See, I'm grossed out by the idea of putting something up there and leaving it for so long. I guess it works for some, though.
