Nuva Ring Input ..thanks!

HI all...

I just started the nuva ring 2 days ago. I am really wondering what kind of side effects to expect..real quick like, I have never been able to take a pill of any sorts. I just recently tried the yasmin and had horrible nausea and headaches and black outs. My doc suggested the RING because it doesnt go through your digestive tract and maybe I can take it.

I was wondering if anyone was on it who had had problems taking the pill and really like the RING?

What kind of side effects have you had since being on the RING?

Thanks so Much!!

I realized that hormonal bc does not work with my system. I have bad side effects also. My main complaint with the ring were yeast infections and stomach cramping. It was my last shot at hormonal bc.

My only problem I had with the Ring was yeast infections. Other than that I loved it! So easy and only had to remember to put it in and then remove it...


But as I said, I got yeast infections from that, (or maybe it just made it worse at that point..) I now have a copper IUD and I am loving that, no side effects and don't have to think about it for the next 5 years.
