Tried the NuvaRing 3 1/2 half years ago after being on depo for a few years. It came out a few times and I followed the directions to put it back in. After 3 months I got pregnant. I found out that I had actually used it a month into my pregnancy but thank god my baby was healthy and strong. Post-partum I used lo-estrin while I breast fed and when I was done with that I weighed my options. I am terrible at taking a pill daily. I tried Depo, but gained weight and I don't want to wait to try again when I decide to have another baby. The patch was just out....I heard too many bad things. I decided to try again with the NuvaRing. Thought it was a fluke that I got pregnant before. 2 months into it I felt the signs of pregnancy again. Home tests came out negative so I went to the doctor. Blood test came out negative. I was certain I was pregnant though. The doctor told me to go ahead and use it still, so I did. After a week it kept coming out so I said forget this. The next week I had a hard time getting a bridesmaids dress on for my cousin's wedding so I took another pregnancy test...and sure enough, I was pregnant. Went to the doctor and was dated at 6 weeks. My baby is 8 months old now and he is beautiful. I'm on Mirena now and have been for 6 months. Not completely happy, but not pregnant. Having migraines and mood swings so I'm considering taking it out. Now I tell everyone I know who is trying to conceive to try the NuvaRing!

SO I took yaz for a year then I switched to Loestrin 24 Fe last month and the period following I got my period a day earlier than usual and It was heavy the first day then it went lighter until Monday it was hardly there. It was about 3-4 days of a period and I'm worried i might be pregnant. On yaz I had 3 days of heavy period and 1 day of light. two months ago I had sex Two days before my period Obviously i was on the pill and had periods since. There is no fatigue or frequent urination or sickness and I have had at least 6 negative Home tests over this period of two months. I'm worried a little, There was no coming inside and he did not wear a condom and he had urinated before sex. I am wondering If it is the pill switch that is tripping up my period or is it pregnancy?
I'm so stressed and yesterday a rash developed on my face. not red, ichy or burning just little bumps. I'm worried this might the pill or signs of pregnancy. HELP!

I had taken loestrin 24 for almost the whole month until my husband and I were convinced I was pregnant. I had been extremely nauseated, my sense of smell changed dramatically, exhausted all the time, not to mention how edgy I was. I truly thought we were going to have another baby. I stopped taking the pill 3 days early just bc I thought I was pregnant. I never started my period, normally if I had skipped a pill I would have started the next day, well, nearly 4 weeks later, I still haven't started. I have had 3 blood pregnancy tests done, all are negative. I have even had an ultrasound done. I know I will NEVER take Loestrin again. but as for my missing period, I have no answers. maybe you can help this "medical mystery?"

I had my mirena inserted in November 05 after the birth of my 3rd child, i have never suffered depression or anxiety in my life and have always been a very patient person...... until around the time i had this thing inserted into me. For the last two years i have been moody, grumpy, angry, irritable, depressed and borderline insane, not everyday, but when it starts it hangs around for at least a week at a time. i have thought for the last 2 and a half years that i was just a stressed out mum that couldn't deal with having 3 children.... well not anymore, i never really made the connection with the mirena until i started looking into the side effects last night and came upon this website. I thought the night sweats and hot flushes were premature menopause (I'm 32) and that the migraines were just stress, and the joint pain was arthritis, and the nausea and sore breasts meant that i might be pregnant ( i have taken about 8 home tests in the last 2 years). i thought that the extreme tiredness and extreme fatigue meant that i was anemic, so i take extra iron and am careful to eat well. My husband is miserable, i am a pain to live with, my kids yell at each other because i yell at them it's a never ending cycle...

last night we decided that i would have in removed, i am booked in on the 3rd of June and can't wait to get it out of me. I don't care if i don't lose weight i just want to feel happy again and not feel so bloody exhausted all the time! and gee it would be nice to actually feel like having sex again!!

I just had my Mirena removed about 5 days ago due to SEVERE moodiness, no sex drive, skin problems and belly bloat. I should have known b/c I was never able to take bcp due to the hormones. I was wondering how long the side effects of the Mirena will last after having it removed. Does anyone know?

Okay soo... I have said before that I liked it... well my mind might be changing. I had a bladder infection last month and after using antibiotics to get rid of it got a yeast infection which is not abnormal, when I use antibiotics I normally get a yeast infection. Well this month around the same time I got a slight yeast infection. I have also had breast tenderness the last week or so, I had a weird discharge on saturday but it only lasted one day and I was very emotional last week. So... here is my dilemma is this because of the ring or am I pregnant? (we did have sex while I was on antibiotics which does counter-act birth controll) I took a in home pregnancy test two weeks ago and it came up negative. But I had a friend who was on birth control and her in home tests came up negative when she was pregnant(with twins even). Can anyone help me out here, let me know what you guys think? Or have any of you had negative pregnancy tests on the ring and actually been pregnant? Or has anyone gotten pregnant on the ring? Just some questions I've been having. Thanks!
