Tierd symptoms and conditions

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!

August 20th 2007

I have been taking Armidex since May 2006. I have stopped taking it
as of August 06, 2007. Armidex is a steroid, and my body has
signifigantly changed due to the Armidex. It also was making me
very tierd. I feel 100% better being off this drug. If anyone else has had
the experience with Armidex please email me. Thank you.

I've been on Yasmin for nearly 5 months now and as of last month, all the major side effects started really kicking in: leg cramps, fatigue, moodiness, weight gain, irritability, depression, foggy thinking, breast enlargement, vaginal infections, etc. So my question is this: If a woman experiences side-effects with one pill, won't she experience them with any and all other pills? I would almost rather just go off of them altogether because I feel like even though the drugs vary from one to another, ultimately they have the same effect: to fill you with hormones to "trick" your body into thinking it's pregnant all the time (no ovulation) so that you won't get pregnant.

Any thoughts?

Hi, my boyfriend and I are travelling Laos and a few other countries with Malaria risk and have been taking Doxycycline for about 1 week. we are both feeling not too well. Really tierd, total loss of apetite and I am experiencing blood in my stools. I think we are going to keep taking this for another week and if things dont get better we will stop. Its spoiling our time away! LA

hi all been of yasmin about 3months + now i have written a few times before just to update you on my progress.

my anixety and panic attacks are nearly gone now i do get the odd bit of anixety around shops etc.. nbut this month is the first time ive been propper food shopping usually i would go online and that even got me worked up before soons silly doesnt it but this evil pill is such poision somethink needs to be done about it.

well around my period im worse than ever each month seems to be getting better thou which is good i was on yasmin 1 year.

which i lost my 1st babys year as i had all the side effects to this pill and i didnt seen intrested in him at all so thanks o this i lost out on enjoying his 1st year .

but my husband is such a beauty he stands by me to this day each and every day gets better you do have bad days but u are boan to coming of this getting it out your system.
the thing i still suffer with which i aint complaining after most of the effects either mild of stoppped now is the left arm aching now and again i did use to get striking pains in it all the time and in my chest but the chest pains have gone and the arm only plays me up now and again especially when tierd at night so this pill was oviously effecting the heart as the syptoms i was having chest pains etc.. was all signs of a heart attack.
my doctor didnt admit that it was this pill but he knows it was he was really good and advised to stay of it i am never touching any form of contraceptive again in my life apart from the condom.

hi all again

this is week 5 of yasmin now

i am feeling loads better in myself my anxiety and panic attacks are not like they were my anxiety is loads better and my panic attacks are mild now.

i went on hokiday for 4 day with my husband and oldest son whos 5 and had the best time ever that helped loads and i was not to bad felt a bit nervous in restaurnats and the showbar in the caravan site but after a couple of beers i was ok the nights were getting better as the week went on.

did me the world of good .
i was 3 weeks late on my period and the morning i come on i just changed i felt so horrible and i was so nasty and felt like i didnt want anyone around me i was snapping at my family so in the end went to bed out the way i think it really has affected me big time around this time, today my chest is playing up a bit feel like i have alot of wind today and i was a bit out of breath too very tierd also maybe this is because i have seen a period which i think is good as some women dont for months after coming of this

my left arm has been playing up a bit also today i think im gonna get a early night and see how i am tomorrow
i still get up in the night to the toliot

anyway anyone whos in the same stage as me let me know or anyone who has been of this horrible pill have u got better yet and how long till ur 100% normal thanks nicola
