NuvaRing Birth Control Method, Apitite, Nuva Ring, Desision, Depressed Person

Posted over a year ago

I have been on the NuvaRing for 3 weeks now. I have been having bad side effects, I am 14 years old and I highly recommend you do not use the NuvaRing it makes you a depressed person all the time it makes you have headaches and serious cramps and pains which i have had. It makes you mean which I was happy all the time before the Birth control method my doctor put me on. I am not satisfied, I have felt like vomiting and my NuvaRing comes out when I use tampons and it gets in the way it hurts... it is not good... I have been feeling dissy very tired.. feel like I never have enough sleep my parents been wondering whats wrong with me too its kind of like having a major bad hang over.. ( not that I know ) but I have heard what there like. I have been feeling really sick really hot.. and eat a lot I have had rashes as I would say because I just don't get break outs... which is weird I have gotten a break out on my forehead and on my chin..
I have been eating non-stop my apatite has changed.. and I am taking this method out as soon as i talk to my doctor and get switched to the pill the 6th.
So I HIGHLY recommend you do not use the NuvaRing.. but thats your decision just know the consequences that come with it.
oh and one last thing i have been having weird periods with a darkish brown colored period it has a weird odor too.. you might not take my advice because I'm young but I know what its like and if i would have known the effects I would have NEVER put my self through all this, so check into the side effects before you start a new birth control method if you have already used the nuvaring.. some people think the NuvaRing is good which to some people it is.. but for me it is horrible at first it was GREAT!!!
now its not so great .. =\ I personally think the pill will be best.. people say how its so bad to remember but its like this is you want to be protected and if you make the dicision you will remember.. I seriously am thinking about the pill i have heard its bad and i heard its good.
( Some of the same side effects come along with it tho )
Just know that.
So if you have experienced any of these please let me know.
I have had trouble breathing to.
or just write me back on here let me know if you have had the same symptoms I'm kinda worried. ... more »

Afontenette - I have to totally disagree with your about the NUVARING. I am 25 years old and have tried every birth control there is. Pills made me extremely ill, the depo shot made me gain 20 pounds and my hair fell out, and the infamous patch well enough said. I have been using the Nuva Ring for about 15 months and it is the only birth control that I can take without any side effects at all. Before this I was using over the counter birth control but I started developing ovarion cysts and they were getting extremely large and unbearable so my OBGYN said I had to use an oral contraceptive. I was skeptical at first but I have to said it is a GOD sent. As long as I put it in on time and take it out on time i'm fine. I have had one episode with it though. I put the ring back a day late. For a few days I experienced nausea and fatigue but after about a week I was fine again. I think you should talk to your doctor about the problems you are having. Every birth control is not for every woman, I know that for a fact. Maybe this is just not working for your body. Alicia F.

Mommacrow - I also have to disagree. Pills made me horribly sick, a diaphram always gave me bladder infections, and I stayed clear of the shot and patch for the obvious. My concern with what you are discribing is...are you taking it out after 3 weeks??? You said it comes out with your tampons...you should not be inserting a tampon, or even having a need to use tampons during the 3 weeks it is in. I also agree that you are so young to be having sex. You really need to look at what you want for your future. Are you ready to be a parent?? On birth control or not, you are making that decision to become a parent. You have so much in life waiting for you, and there is not a boy out there that is worth giving up everything you have for them. At least you are ''protecting'' yourself somewhat, but this won't protect you from STDs or emotional damage. I hope you find a birth control that is right for you, but make sure you understand how each works and be precise with using it.

Lilrose26 - You may only be 14 but so what at least your smart enough to put yourself on birth control. Don't end up like those other teen girls. Just try a different method.
