I have been using the Ring for about 2 years now. I did gain a total of about 20 pounds since I am on it. Just figured that comes with age. I do suffer with migranes monthly. I have gone to ENT for my sinsus, thinking it was that so they wanted me to have sinus surgery but I cancelled. I went to the TMJ specilalist thinking it's from that. All they did was give a splint. My Doctor then decided lets try Imitrex. It worked wonders. I live on that stuff. Well I use it so often that I really cant afford to keep refilling my prescription. So now I just seen a neurologist. He put me on Topamax to try to stop the headaches before coming on well the side effects from the Topamax were just as bad as the migranes. Well rigth about now I am having a nervous breakdown. Where do I go from here every doctor thinks I'm crazy. So I get online thinking where do I begin so I start with NuvaRing side effects. I go to this site and start reading and all my symptons are the same as all these on here. I have the weight gain, migranes, I am actually on Zoloft so I can't say I am moody. I also have microscopic blood in my urine that we are trying to figure out where that is coming from. Hopefully the NR and nothing serious. I will let ya'll Know!!!! I am sooo glad I read about all of this. Even though my doctor says that it's not the NR. I will prove him wrong!!!!!!

Has anyone out there had an increase in urination? I started Yaz in Feb. and since then I've been peeing like a race horse. My OBY said it was probably an overactive bladder, typical for a peri-menopausal woman. I had tests for bladder infections and they read negative. I was in the middle of relocating my family across many miles and I just put up with the symptoms. Now I find out there is microscopic blood in my urine and I am scheduled for a slew of tests probing for tumors, cancers, polyps, etc. in my bladder and kidneys. My Dad had bladder cancer so I'm pretty scared. However, I am starting to wonder if there is a Yaz connection. I hate the thought of returning to periods where I couldn't leave the house because I was bleeding so much but all the risks here are scaring me. I don't have an OBY here yet but assuming I am not harboring cancer or an other disease (i.e., kidney stones) I think I'll go off Yaz. I already have horrible migraines and acne so I'm wondering if it will all get worse. My headaches are the same (2-3 times a month) with Yaz and my skin is better. It's been pretty good for water weight but as I said, I am in the bathroom way too much.
