I was 3 months pregnant with my second child. I had been throwing up every day (4-6x) since my first month of pregnancy. My OB said that it would pass and was not concerned. On night I just couldn't take it anymore and ended up in the ER. The doc started me on a IV to replace my fluids. She also added Reglan to it. About 2-3 minutes after they added it to my IV my whole body turned to ice. I was freezing. It felt like something was crawling under my skin. I started rubbing my arms like crazy telling my husband that I didn't feel good. My body felt like it was not my own. I was trying to get out of it!! The only way I can explain what happened next was I guess I had a panic attack. I started screaming "Get it out of me!!" I tried to rip out my IV and jumping off the table. I could not stop shaking and crying. I was perfectly fine (mentally) before they gave Reglan to me. Two security guards and 2 nurses + the doc came running in and attempted to hold me down (5'7 130lbs). They could barely hold me down before the doctor shot something into my IV. Within seconds it stopped and I felt 100% better. I asked what happened to me and the doctor said that "you had an adverse reaction". Ummm that is putting it mildly. I signed myself out after that. I have NEVER experienced anything like that in my life!! Needless to say I tell my doctors (OB+ GP) that I am allergic to Reglan!

I used Nuva Ring about a year ago and decided to stop using it due to major mood swings, (Going from laughing to crying in a split second) but I recently decided to try it again, as I liked the conveinence of it and the fact that it's the only birth control I've used that hasn't made me gain weight. Well, I've had the ring in for about 2 weeks now and I'm not liking it!!! I've been feeling extremely fatigued, nauseas, constipated, experiencing heartburn, having brown spotting and abdominal cramping. I don't know if I should keep this thing in or take it out. Right now, I'm feeling sooo nauseas I'm contemplating going to the hospital.

I had my Mirena IUD inserted two weeks ago today. I had it inserted on day three of my normally five-day period. My period stopped for 2 days following insertion and then I spotted for one day. After that one day, I have been bleeding heavily ever since, and I'm talking super jumbo tampon every 2-3 hours bleeding. Before receiving Mirena, I talked to my GYN, read the pamphlet and researched online. Each resource told me to expect spotting - so I expected spotting for 3-4 weeks after and I am completely blown away by the constant heavy bleeding that I am now being told could potentially last 3-4 months.
I normally do not use oral contraceptives because of my problems with High Blood Pressure, but my doctor felt the low dosage of hormones in Mirena was "ok" for me. Since insertion, I've experienced a slight raise in my blood pressure but the doctor doesn't seem too concerned about it because I am supposedly "adjusting" to the Mirena. I am slightly worried that my constant bleeding and increased blood pressure are not going to subside in the 3-4 months the doctor is recommending I wait it out.
Not to mention how the constant, constant bleeding is ruining my sex life.
I honestly have no idea what kind of standards or limits I need to be setting here for myself. It has only been two weeks, but how much is too much..? I also have to say I am worried as well since I have to have minor surger in 4 weeks and would hate to have HBP/Anemia complications because of this.
