can Nuvaring make you fatigued?
| Mon, 04-10-2006 - 9:46am |
Sorry I had ONE more question regarding nuvaring. i have read that it has made some women very tired all the time and their sex drive was 0 . Im having the same thing, At first I thought I was just doing to much and thats why I was tired , But every night Im so fatigued and ready for bed at 8 p.m. I was just wondering if anybody else has expirenced this? I think Im going to change BC because there is no sense in using Bc if you dont want to have sex, Thats what Nuvaring has done to me I have lost the drive I once had. Now dont get me wrong I do have sex, BUT the drive is gone.

Hi mom_of-three_980003, welcome back!
Fatigue and lowered libido can be side effects of combined (estrogen/progestin) contraceptives. I forget, how long have you been on NuvaRing? If it has been less than three cycles you may still be adjusting to the hormones and things might get better once your body adjusts. If you have been on the ring more than three cycles then you have given it a good try and it's probably time for you and your doctor to try something else. I hope you find a method that is right for you. Let us know what you decide, ok?
Thanks for posting. If you have more questions, please ask.
Good luck,
Jill
Since it's been four months you have given the ring a good try. I think it's time to talk with your doctor about switching to something else with a different progestin and see how that works for you. Keep us posted, ok?
Good luck,
