nuvaring/no orgasm/now what?
| Fri, 11-24-2006 - 3:06am |
HI...i am considering going on something because my skin is horrendous and my periods are screwed up and my emotions are too. When I was on OrthoEvra I gained a ton of weight but my sex drive was through the roof. Anyway, on Nuvaring, I actually lose 5 lbs and have a great attitude/sense of well being, but NO SEX DRIVE AND NO ORGASM ...I tried Lo/estrin for a month and had horrible vag. dryness and no increased appetite..so otehr than the sex drive problems, I liked actually I loved nuvaring. Does anyone have suggestions? I say this because the doctor is not helpful at all and he usually asks ME for direction. I have a tendency to gain weight on the pill but like I said, w/nuva ring it was great..also i had al ot of energy. (well i had a lot of energy on the patch too..but the weight gain was insane, and harder to lose than any other pill I had ever been on..bad saddlebags developed!). Thanks..oh i am 31 and never had problems w/weight either unless i was on the pill so I know its not just all in my head. It tends to drive my appetite and cravings for starches through the roof is the problem. Thx in advance.

Hi sameasalways, welcome back!

Yasmin and Yaz are both monophasic pills and use a very different progestin, drospirenone,

Hi Same,
I was on yasmin and LOVED it, I had to stop taking it as my insurance didn't cover it and it's through the roof expensive :(
I then tried Alesse--for me, it was horrendous. I had horrible mood swings, I had my period randomly through the months, sometimes 2 or even 3 times (and I don't mean just spotting...full blown periods) and it actually got to the point where I was scared because I wouldn't stop bleeding.
I hope Yaz or Yasmin works for you...I just thought I'd share about my experience with Alesse.
Best of luck!
