Here's my history of birth control:

Started with Yaz when I got married. Had fantastic periods and great sex drive but it made me really sick and crazy hormonal. Had to stop it because I was getting migraines a few times a week.

Switched to condoms for a while, but found out I'm allergic to latex. Switched to the (expensive) lambskin condoms but still experienced some discomfort.

Switched to the nuvaring 3 months ago. I've had fantastic periods, no cramping, no headaches, etc...but the darn thing won't stay in this month! It slips down about every hour no matter what I do. I also have ZERO sex drive, and I've been experiencing numbing in my arms/hands.

Well crap, what am I supposed to try now? The pull-out method? Pills are out, condoms are out, nuvaring is out, mirena is out (haven't had a baby yet so I'm not a candidate. Maybe God's telling me that I'm supposed to have a baby?

Ugh. It's all so upsetting.

I have been experiencing a lot of numbness in my arms and hands over the last few months. I ignored it for awhile but decided I definitely should speak to my doctor about it so I am going this afternoon. It only just dawned on me a few days ago that the numbness might be related to the NuvaRing. I think I have been on it about 5 months.

Has anyone else experienced numbness in their arms and hands?

I have been onthe nuva ring for a few weeks. and i have a history of birth control use too. first off, u DONT gain weight from birth control. if anything its water weight such as bloating and such. and yes ur breasts to get bigger.
YOU ALL must understand that birthcontrol makes ur body think u are pregnate!!! HELLO! that it why ur boobs get bigger, and u have abdominal pain, and ur horemones go wack. might i add that u also wanna eat a lot??? but birth control ALONE does NOT make u gain weight. u choose to eat.
unfortunatley birthcontrol isnt for all women b/c of chemical imbalances. which is another story.
but i havent had any problems with nuva ring except some abdominal pain.

Make wise choices, and take care of ur body. u choose to eat, and u choose ur birth control. be well everyone!
