My 9 year old daughter got her first shot in Dec. 2008 and her second in Feb. and the last in June. We have have been to the doctor a lot of times due to headaches with the doctor's opinion being that it's "allergies". She is now on allergy shots with still no relief from the headaches. I listened to her pediatrician and got her the shots. I feel so bad now after reading all the problems others are having with this vaccine. She also has had a change in her attitude aggression,moodiness,cries often, and she says she's depressed. If anybody has any suggestions for us please let me know. I love my little girl and know I'm worried.

I am 22, and a newly wed. I have been using NR since i was 18. I have been pretty happy with it until this last couple months when i have started to have some severe side effects. I actually ended up in the ER the 29th of may. i had some weight gain at the beginning but i figured that it was normal and didn't think too much of it. When i went to the ER it was because of how much pain i was in with my lower abdomen. They said they THOUGHT it MIGHT be a ruptured cyst. I went to the doctor the next day and she said that it wasn't. Since then i have noticed that my hair has been falling out, im a very thick haired blond. (not fair!!) the pain in my uterine area has been crippling. I ended up quitting my job due to nervous break down because of the pain and the not knowing why. I have abnormal pap smears the months that i used the nuvaring. Body aches, massive head aches, depression, moodiness, heavy excruciating periods, back aches, nausea, breast tenderness, and more and more weight gain. I have gained about 50 lbs since starting NR. I used it because i am AWFUL with pills. So that leaves me with nothing other than condoms, and they hurt me. When my husband and i have sex, WHEN we have sex, it hurts before, during and after. To the tune that my husband is afraid to have sex with me, for fear of causing me pain. So what to do?

Unfortunately I've had to stop the Lupron injections. I lost my job and with that my health insurance. I am wondering can anyone tell me when I can expect my period to start again?

November 6, 2008 was my last injection and it was a 3 month dose. It is May 2009, I am 39 years old and I have not yet had a period. My fibroids ae back to their large abdomen filling size so I am very worried.

Not having insurance or adequate funds has reduced me to the internet for research first before venturing out to a doctor as a "self-pay" patient.

I still currently have Mirena in. I have had it for 2 years 2 months. I am 27 years old. I have had no children. I was on the Depo shot for 8 years. Then switched over to Mirena. I was happy and it worked well for me for about 6 months. Then I began to get the dreaded side effects starting with horrible scaring acne. I got many treatments from my dermatologist including trying to take Yaz birth control (he knew I already had Mirena in) to try to stop the acne. The only thing that did help with the acne was blue light treatment combined with Levulan but I have to go often to get it or else the ance comes back full force and the acne treatment is expensive. For the past year I have had a sharp shooting pain in what feels like my right ovary shooting down my right leg. I went to OB/GYN after multiple pap smears/ultra sounds and blood tests, she couldn't find anything wrong. She sent me to see GI doctor. I went to see him in July 2008. He thought I might have appendicitis so referred me to get abdominal CT scan. Insurance refused to pay. He said I should get a colonoscopy. I refused. I have been ignoring the pain near my right side and down my leg ever since. If I really did have appendicitis my appendix would have burst by now. For the past couple of nights I have begun to have night sweats. I do believe all of the above is related to Mirena. I have begun to discuss with my husband alternate birth control and removal of this thing. If we get a law suit going I want to be involved.

Hi,
I took BCPs continuously for over 10 years (I'm 36 now), with last 6 or 7 years on Yasmin. I felt great while on it, but there were I few changes in my health that prompted me to stop the Pill.
a) I developed high cholesterol and triglycerides. I am a runner and a healthy eater (mostly vegetarian, fats limited to olive oil); I check my blood lipids every year. Given my lifestyle, the doctors had the only remaining explanation that is must run in my family - but no, this is not a hereditary condition in my case. I did some online research and found out other women whose cholesterol and lipids shot up while on Yasmin or other BCP.
b) After many years of perfectly normal Pap smears, I developed first mild and then moderate cervical dysplasia. I underwent LEEP, which is a minor surgery to remove the diseased tissue, which went well, but the condition returned within several months. And now I've been referred to see an oncologist.
While the cholesterol -BCP link is a speculation at this point, the BCP link to cervical cancer is a well-known fact. My advice to those who consider getting on the pill: do it if you absolutely have to, but get off after 3-5 years, don't wait for 10 years to find out what it did to your health.

I am 23 and just completed my series of Gardasil. The first shot hurt right away but the pain subsided a few hours later and I had no other reaction. I had the same occurrence with the second shot. I just had the third shot 3 days ago. The day after I had it done I experienced significant pain in my arm, collarbone and shoulder, chest pain,chills, headache, fatigue, stomach cramps, and swelling in my arm. I could barely lift my arm to do anything. I had the same symptoms the 2nd day and today I am experiencing a low grade fever, muscle pain all over, extreme fatigue after plenty of sleep, headache, chest pain and heart burn, swollen glands and throat pain. I am pretty sure this is an effect of this vaccine. If I would have known sooner I would have not finished the series. I would advise anyone out there looking into this vaccine to NOT go through with it. I have an appt with my doctor tomorrow to discuss this.

I am 31 years old. I have HPV. I got it when I was young I have 4 kids. I have never really had any problems from HPV. I do worry about the risk of cancer so I get my pap-smears. I had warts one time 2 was it and they went away on there own my doctor said that I did not need to treat them if I did not want to, that was over 10 years never had any more. My daughter is 13 and I have never even thought about getting her the vaccine, the thought of law makers telling me I have to makes me mad! I never did trust it and knew there would be problems it sounds like the CURE is worse then the disease! Just be careful what you decide to do. Don't buy in to the fear.

I am writing because i just got my 4th shot of lupron. During my office visit my dr. told me that because the pain hasnt gone away and the only thing lupron did for me was stop my periods, she now believes what I have suspected all along. I DONT HAVE ENDOMETRIOSIS!!!!! Now i am being referred to an ob pain specialist. She suspects it may be an ovary problem. No surprise considering I have had ovarian problems since puberty. She is suggesting a full pelvic exam with a possible laproscopy. She is fearfull of further surgerous and wants them only as a last resort. GOD BLESS HER FOR THAT!!!...She also is suspecting the uterine tumor and ceasarion scares as a possible problem.. Hey gals my advice is this.....Make sure you know what you have before you get treated. I took all those shots for something i dont even have. All the aforementioned symtoms were not worth it for me. The good news is the hot flashes and crying jigs have stopped. so there is some hope for people oin the shot. And as i mentioned before about the lack of appetite and weight loss....IT IS THE REVERSE OF WHAT LUPRON DOES TO YOU...A good sighn it may not be endo.. She is now worried about that one too. thanks for the posting after mine and may you all gain some insight from this one...good luck to you all..
