I have been on NR since July 18 of this year. I was diagnosed with PCOS and Insulin Resistance. I am also on Byetta. My experience with NR has not been good. First of all I was skeptical about constantly having a foreign object in my body especially such a sensitive area. Symptom 1, decreased sexual desire! Symptom 2, burning sensations down there. Then itching, and a horrible discharge and smell!! At this point I kept thinking how much worse can it get. Well it did, I should be loosing weight from the medication finally regulating my insulin levels, after all I work out 5 times a week and follow a healthy eating plan. My lower tummy is swollen as well as my hips and thighs. Not to mention I have pains in my hips, like they need a massage. On top of this all I have an increased resting pulse rate and blood pressure as well as tighten feelings in my chest. I really feel like this birth control is not safe for me. I was previously on yasmine, and loved it. My endo suggested NR due to the PCOS and IR they feel like it works best with Byetta! WRONG!!! I am waiting for the DR to return my call I am requesting AGAIN that my BC be changed.

I am posting again about nuvaring. I am taking it out tonight. I hate feeling so depressed and apathetic and like I can't get through anything anymore. This month has been the worst ever in that regard. I did bettter on Yasmin and will probably go back to that. I also have been feeling shorter of breath since taking this. I thought I was getting asthma possibly. Reading some of these posts at least helps me realize the ring could be causing this. I think I am just going to tell my doctor to put me back on Yasmin. Besides, I don't really trust these fancy new things they are coming out with these days.

My sun has suffered from three years of age with stomach pain and discomfort uppon eating he is now 12 years old. We have seen many doctors all of whom are very vague.

I live with him and see him every day. He eats very little, (i think it still hurts) he says he's not in pain anymore. At nine he was still thr...
