New husband symptoms and conditions

I am so thankful that someone else is experiencing what I am!!! I started taking Loestrin 24 Fe in July, started spot bleeding about a week later, which was so not cool. Thankfully, it stopped the day of my wedding! I've had light, short periods, but I definitely don't feel like myself. The worst part is I have had NO sex drive, which is definitely also not like myself. I feel so bad for my poor husband. We are newlyweds and should be ALL over each other. Sex definitely feels like a chore for me, and I cannot stay lubricated as well, which has NEVER been a problem until now. It's so embarrassing, and I did NOT have any of these problems before I took this pill. I'm going to my Obgyn to see if I can get something else. The light, short periods are great, but I'd rather have a normal period and enjoy my sex life with my new husband.

I went on NuvaRing because it was suggested by my dr and mom who was an rn. I though nothing of it. I noticed a week before my wedding i was more tired then usal and moddy. The night before my wedding i thought i couldnt sleep because of excitement but no i was so tired that i fell right a sleep. The day of the wedding i was really moody i thought everything was going wrong and every little thing made me cry. The night of the wedding was terrible because i was really tired and i didnt want to do anything. no sexual drive. But after a fight with my new husband i gave in and did what anyone did on the wedding night. On the honey moon i was really moody, pernoid, tired, felt mersible, and i didnt want to have sex at all with my husband whom i love. my husband knew something was up. but we couldnt figure it out. when i was off it for my period i felt calmer and happier but as soon as i got back on it my husband and i would fight over the stupidest things, things that usaly didnt bother me. we hardly had sex and it hurt him. my roomates even noticed that i was acting different. then a couple days ago i noticed tenderness in my breast, dizzness falling over once in a while, and not wanting to talk , i wanted to be alone, and i was talking about an anulment for our marriege. I thought i was just getting a cold because i felt really sick.. but then when i woke up this morning and i could not feel my husband kiss my neck, pinch my neck or arm, i felt numb all over and my husband was getting worried we looked up the side affects and we both noticed right away this is what was happening. we took it out right away and im feeling much better. other then feeling irritated at my dr for not telling me the side effects.
I would not recomend this to anyone.

Never really having stuck with any other type of birth control before, I started using the NuvaRing about 6 months prior to my wedding. I had consulted my Dr. about it asking what would be ok for me knowing I am forgetful and didnt want to take the pill everyday. He said the NuvaRing was my best option and proceeded to tell me some of the pros and cons about it. As a very persistant bride, I didnt really listen, just said "Great, sign me up!". Well the months go on and I never really had the urge to be with my soon to be husband, I just assumed it was because I was too involved with the wedding plans and everything else. The wedding day comes, everything perfect as I wished, then there was the night of the wedding... NOT everything I wished, I was "tierd", but I did what your supposed to do the night of your wedding and got practically nothing out of it. The entire week of the honeymoon, I bet we had sex MAYBE 5 times, 5 times!!! Thats how much you should be having in one day on your honeymoon. I just ignored it and figured it was the sun and alcohol, big mistake! We have now been married 6 weeks and probably have sex twice a week if we are lucky. My sweet new husband has been very good about this, any other guy would probably kill their wife by now for this. Finally, our solution, one of my best friends who is a nurse was listening to me wine a complain about all of this. I mean, what girl who loves their husband and is attracted to him wants to have no sexual desire, not me! So after she finishes listening to me, she starts to tell me all of the horrible things she has heard about the NuvaRing, she in fact was about to start on it before she heard all of the negative symptoms. She has heard of many relationships falling apart due to this "oh so wonderful" birthcontrol. In fact, some people have said they used to have sex 5 to 6 times a week and once they started this it went down to maybe once or twice! Not how I want to live my life or marriage. I suggest to all of you out there that are either researching the NuvaRing or have been on it, DONT DO IT!

I took Yasmin for 17 months. DUring that time I gained 40lbs. and lost total intrest in being intimate with my new husband. It wasn't that I didn't want to be with him, it was that I didn't feel right emotionally. I finished my last round of Yasmin at the end of April. I had a regular cycle in May, June, and July. Now it is October 10 and I haven't had a period since July 17 and test results are still showing me that I am not pregnant as of October 3. Has anyone else experienced amenorreah from discontinued use of Yasmin?

My daughter has been on Prednisone for 16 months because of a blood platelet disorder (ITP). She started with 100 mg and has gradually been weaned down to 2 mg. Yesterday, her platelet count dropped quite a bit, so they took her back up to 3 mg. to get the count back up. I have several questions--because she is scared to check for herself. 1st, she has had a "sore" or achey spot on the side of one of her breasts--not a premenstrual sore, just a deep sort of ache. Could this be related to the prednisone? Also, she has had breakthrough bleeding between cycles. Also the pred??? Are there side effects even on this lower dose? She is 25 years old, and this has been a horrific ordeal for her and her new husband (who is incredibly understanding and patient). She is constantly anxious and deals with irrational fears. Frequent mood swings are common. I am sure this is all a result of the long term use of pred., but she so much wants to return to normal again. Has anyone experienced any of these or been on pred for this long? Thank you!
