Hi,
I been using NuvaRing for almost 7 months, everything is great and the sex is with no worries, but, there is a problem. I been noticing small red marks on my legs that really concern me. My doctor had told me the reason of those marks, wich are spider veins, is caused by the use of birth control as well as family history.
Im really concerned because its getting worst, I would like to stop on nuvaRing now, but i will be at risk of pregnancy.
What do you suggest, is there any other birth control that offers no side hormonal effects such as spider veins or the like?
Should i stop it, or im the only one with this problem?
Please help,really dont know what to do
