Vag symptoms and conditions

I've been only a week with NuvaRing. I've experienced depression, vaginal dryness, vaginal itching, after only 3 days of using it I got a nasty yeast infection, I didn't find my boyfriend attractive anymore, I got offended easily, Also I got this BAD headaches, and cramps "down there" very frequently. Also I got a strange rash on my vag, accompanied with the itching. I don't like NuvaRing at all. I took it out today, since I couldn't sleep because of the itching and the cramps. Bad experience. When is my boyfriend going to get fixed... Back to condoms it is.

well i got my mirena in may of 07 the first three months were hell, i bled for 3 months striaght!!! i wanted it removed then and ther but my doctor talked me into keeping it. so know it has been a little over a year and a half and i am finally fed up. I am constantly bloated, eat like im pregnant some time, breaking out like crazy, i am always sleeppy, and a dry vag. & im only 19!!! i once woke up with a sharp pain in my side that felt like really bad gas... the pain lasted 8 hours and i finally went to the ER they could not figure out what was wronge with me.. since then i get the pian in my lower stomach, back and side at least once a week. i hardly get my period ] well that and im not preg. BUT at times i really fell crazy, i feel terible about myself, im depressed and tired and all these things you all have talked about, at one point i really thought i was losing my mind, i had no idea what was wrong with me. and yes as women we so have mood swings but i know something is not right, the occasionall mood swing would be heaven compaired to the constant hell i am in. i am not sure if the mirena is what is causing all these problems but its a very good possiblity. the only way i can be sure is to get it removed and see for myself. so as soon as i can i am going to get it removed. i was never told that the symtoms could be so bad all i got was a pamphlet. WHY were we not told !!! i am going to try and find a different birth controll but i dont want to fall into the same delema.

Hi, I am a 36yr old mother of 2 boys aged 14 & 12yrs. I had the mirena fitted in 1 1/2 years ago.. had all the bleeding at the beginning, but unfortunately it carried on for months. had very heavy bleeding in months 7 & 8, so heavy it left me feeling nauseous and faint. then it went back to 3 weeks of bleeding out of 4. and thats now how long i bleed for all the time. have heaps of discharge (eww), zits, feeling constantly like crying over nothing. Had hard cyst, which went on its own. got referred to a gyno (cause of heavy bleeding) which i saw 3 weeks ago. he has no idea why i had the heavy bleeding, has no idea why i am bleeding 3 weeks out of four (not heavy) but he is now booking me in for a vaginal hysterectomy.!! I still have the mirena in, only because i am told that if they take it out, my periods will be a lot worse than before i had the mirena inserted!! argghhhh. anyone else being put forward for a hysterectomy??

I've been on the ring for 2 weeks, living hell and irrational decisions sums it up. Not to mention I can totally feel the ring during sex, it almost feels like my vag is on fire it burns so bad. It has increased by appetite rapidly and my boobs are so sore I can barely stand it without a bra. In the beginnning I had cold chills in my home where it is AC the others in the house were burning up were as I was in a hoodie under a blanket during summer. I have no motivation to do anything for myself anymore, I feel hopeless. I'm about to take this damn thing out. You should take yours out as well.
Take care.

I have noticed very dry skin and vag dryness as well. My skin has cleared up and my weight has not fluctuated. My breasts are bigger, but I do not have the CONSTANT feeling of bloat that I did on Ortho Tri-cyclen. Also, I had bad mood swings on OTC that I don't have with this. Also have noticed brown periods.
