I have been on Nuvaring for like 5 years. I had a baby last year and restarted the ring and continued on as I was before. I ran out of samples in November so I stopped using it and have noticed a mark difference. I have lost at least 5 lbs, have a higher sex drive, feel not so moody, have noticed a whole lot less bloated and less constipation. Now that I think about it I was having these hot flashes too. Now I dont know if I should try something new and risk the same type of side effects or just stay off of everything. I thought about Loestrin because its low dose but after reading all these complaints I'm thinking twice.
My main BIG problem with the bc is that I continually SPOT all month, so it's as if I'm on my period my all month. This depresses and enrages me! I was on the pill from 16 till 29. I am currently 30. From about 27-29 I started having all the spotting problems. But, before that bc has always been great, I was like the perfect canidate. When I finally stopped taking the pill when I was 29, (I kept complaining to my GYN and she would just switch what kind I was on, absolutely NO HELP) all my spotting stopped but I got really bad acne after getting off the pill. So, desperate because I was so acne prone and scared to sleep with my husband all the time I just recently got back on the pill. SAME PROBLEMS! I started spotting a week after starting the Kariva. Some of the side effects are ridiculously scary and overwelming, but I was hoping to get rid of this horrid acne that I have never had in my entire life! Still spotting as we speak, and I'm going to give it one more month and if it doesn't stop then I'm back off everything, it's just not worth it for me. Any suggestions anyone???? I'm in desperate need of some advice!
Thanks~
I have been on loestrin fe 1.5 for about eight months now, and i have experienced extreme anxiety and panic attacks, racing heart rate, hot flashes and depression worse than ever before. I'm not sure if the pill is to blame but I think it is. I'm nervous about getting off of it because it is supposed to control my endometriosis. I'm too young to be experiencing these problems though.
