I have been experiencing problems with the NuvaRing as well. Afte...

I feel your pain. It's frustrating when doctors can't find the right type of contraceptives to work with your body. When I was in college, I went through 4 different kinds of oral contraceptives. My sophomore year, I had to have my gallbladder removed (NOT FROM THE PILLS) but during surgery, they noticed a growth on my liver, They biopsied it and found it to be an Adenoma which is a benign growth most commonly caused by the excess female hormones found in birth control pills. The doctors told me that I had to stop taking the pills and when I had, the growth would reduce and eventually recede back into my liver. apparently 1 in every 100,000 women have this condition.. and I happened to be one of them. It figures huh? So, I can't take any form of birth control with hormone therapy. So, I guess what I"m saying is yes, your body can reject birth control. I don't mean to worry you.

I have also just started receiving the Gardasil vaccine. I didn't experience any redness, hives, swelling or any side effect of that nature. But, my period came 4 days late and was incredibly light and only lasted 2 days when its usually heavy and lasts a full week. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this type of thing with Gardasil. Any info would be appreciated.

i realize it has been a while since this post but i cant tell you how much i freaked out when i read it i have been dealing with this for almost a year hives that is and had no idea what might be causing it i have terrible allergies and everyone working with me has been working on my allergies but with no results i recently started really looking into the hormone reasons behind hives and found all these postings about the nuvaring i continue to have difficulty finding a birth control pill break through bleeding is always the issue and i though i had found a miracle in the nuvaring if you have gotten any more answers since your last posting i would love to hear about it and maybe reap the benefit of your experience
