Here's my history of birth control: Started with Yaz when I go...

Here's my history of birth control: Started with Yaz when I got married. Had fantastic periods and great sex drive but it made me really sick and crazy hormonal. Had to stop it because I was getting migraines a few times a week. Switched to condoms for a while, but found out I'm allergic to latex. Switched to the (expensive) lambskin condoms but still experienced some discomfort. Switched to the nuvaring 3 months ago. I've had fantastic periods, no cramping, no headaches, etc...but the darn thing won't stay in this month! It slips down about every hour no matter what I do. I also have ZERO sex drive, and I've been experiencing numbing in my arms/hands. Well crap, what am I supposed to try now? The pull-out method? Pills are out, condoms are out, nuvaring is out, mirena is out (haven't had a baby yet so I'm not a candidate. Maybe God's telling me that I'm supposed to have a baby? Ugh. It's all so upsetting.

I have never had a baby and my dr. suggested the Mirena. She showed me how it goes in and it totally freaked me out so I chose the ring. I'm seriously regretting my choice.

I know what you mean, you can't really go right anywhere! It's almost better to just be off the NR and live sex free lives because that's what the ring is doing to me as well! I didn't realize it til i saw this site and i'm telling you that all this time I thought it was me just getting out of my sex-crazed teeny-bopper phase, but i guess it's not. I've been on it for three years though and it just about seems to be the only method for me...sigh.
