nuva ring almost cost me my life
I have been on nuva ring the past 4 years. It took four years to figure out what was wrong with me. Keep in mind I'm a healthy 25 year old married mother of one. I had several tests done to find out why I was so tired, why my rage would engulf me and - 92% more... -
I believe the nuvaring likely caused a few of those problems because i had severely high blood pressure and panic attacks often while on the nuvaring. I attempted to control my unpredictable bp with meds which worked as long as i was on the therapy a - 46% more...

Over 4 years ago I changed from the pill to NuvaRing at the local nurses advice. I used the product properly but now I have a 4 year old child. I really would never trust NuvaRing ever again. -

NuvaRing nuvaring, fuss, class action lawsuit, years of my life, medication
I still think a class action lawsuit should be filed and this product taken off of the market, i felt like i lost 3 years of my life on this medication!! Not to mention i put my husband and daughter thru hell!! -
I agree. Most of the people in the lawsuit are claiming that the blood clot risk wasn't properly disclosed. When I started the meds, it was the first thing that was discussed. I had no illusions of what would happen if I developed that particular sym - 32% more...

Nuvaring and Prenatal Vitamins
Is it bad to take them together, I'm planing on getting pregnant but not at this very moment. So I'm wondering if they can counter act or make your body think it's preggo. -
Prenatal vitamins are just a regular multi-vitamin with extra folic acid. It will have no effect on your hormones or interfere with the nuvaring
