I hate to blame this on the NR but I am starting to think my irritability and unhappiness has something to do with the birth control, since I have not felt like this for so many consecutive days-EVER. Also, at 1st I thought I was maybe eating worse and not realizing it or being lazy and not exercising as much, but I am sure the nuva ring has a lot to do with the 6 lbs. I have gained these past 3 months. Although the nuva ring is SO easy compared to the pill, I think I am going to switch back to oral contraceptives so I can have my personality back!

I've posted before about the side effects I've experienced and wanted to report that my sex drive, while not the same as it was before, is much better, and I've had some really good sex.
I understand that I could be spotting off and on for months, but I've had MAYBE 5 consecutive days without any sort of bleeding since I had it put in over a month ago. I'm nearing another two weeks of having my period.
If it weren't for instead menstrual cups, I'd have no sex life at all. I can handle it but I admit, it's starting to make me a little crazy having to wear something ALL THE TIME. I hope it ends soon!

I have been using Yasmine for a month. I noticed that I am having extreme fatigue, dehydration, nausea, aches in arms and legs, chest pains, no sex drive, rapid heart beat, hungry pains and anxiety. During this month of using Yasmine I have been to the Emergency Room 3 times. I had several test done and all were normal. Thank God I found this site! At first I thought I was crazy! I have never experieced anxiety at this level.I did take Yasmine in June and stopped the 3rd week because I missed consecutive days. I experienced migraines for a month. Any suggestions of a new forn of birth control? I will not be purchasing another pack of Yasmine!

My son is six years old and been on Singulair for 2 weeks, on the 3rd day he started complaining of stomach pain. That night he had a horrible nightmare and everyday since it has been something else it seems to get worse everyday. Sleepwalking uncontrollable rage that we have never seen before. He gets out of breath very easy and his comprehention is very bad since he has takin this drug. He is on day two of no Singulair and is still having trouble sleeping but the other effects are slowly ending thank god any parents thinking of this treatment for their child needs to do more research my doctor did not think it was the meds that it is just a normal child stage he is going through. (bull-h--t).

I am a woman aged 57 and had severe diarrhea during the past week-end. I started to use immediately one imodium pill after a bowel and then another pill after a second bowel. Since then, I still have a serious constipation for six consecutive days, during which I have gone only once in two different days to the toilet, and the results have been two small and hard excrement in those two occasions. Today is Sunday and I can not reach a doctor, so please, inform me what can I do about it now. I will be very appreciative to you for it. Thank you very much in advance for your prompt attention. God bless you! (E-mail: sSonia427@aol.com

Update to my previous blog...I stopped taking Jolivette on Sunday, September 7th after having begun bleeding (again). I had enough of this and was wondering if Jolivette was the cause. By Tuesday evening my bleeding had stopped. I was sick and tired of spending more time "having a period" than not having one. I thought it was supposed to help make my periods lighter, and perhaps it did (but only slightly), except when you bleed constantly for many consecutive days, who can tell? I did exactly as instructed and took my pill regularly, at the same time each day. I even set the alarm clock on my cell phone as a reminder. Jolivette didn't work for me so I will be looking into other options.
