I was on Yaz for 4 months. I didn't notice the terrible side effects of that unitl I sat and realized that my being anxious, worried and sad all the time was due to that stupid pill. I had no sex drive and my work outs were harder and harder to go to all the time.....so, I called my doctor and asked to be switched to something with less hormones. They suggested Nuvaring as it has less hormones than the pills we hear of. Well, I put it in last night....but after reading all these posts,,...took it out this morning....soooo, 55 bucks down the drain but sounds way worth it!!!! I'm only on them to help with endometriosis....who the hell needs no sex drive, weight gain, depression, headaches, vaginal dryness, constant worry and being tired to name a few side effects to supposedly help with our cycles???? I'll go back to painful perioids and being me. Good luck to you guys out there,,,,, Cheri

I have taken Depoprovera and the pill to control Endometriosis and Fibroids. The hormones in these contraceptives gave me terrible migraines daily. I say if you can stick it out without the hormones go for it. There is no reason we should suffer from painful menstrual cycles and then add the weight gain, depression, migraines and all the other side effects to the mix. I just deal with it one month at a time and it seems to be much better than the suffering I was enduring.
