Great After 3 Years but I Still Get Migraine Headaches During My Period.
HI.
I've used a contraceptive pill since age 16, and three years ago I switched to NuVa Ring, I'm turning 25 this summer.
Anyway, I really like everything about NuVa Ring, except I still get these headaches. My boyfriend also notices these mood swings in me.
Last summer, I stopped using NuVa because I went to visit my family and went on vacation. I was really happy and feeling myself, so I don't know if it was the vacation or also not using the NuVa Ring. ... more »
HI.
I've used a contraceptive pill since age 16, and three years ago I switched to NuVa Ring, I'm turning 25 this summer.
Anyway, I really like everything about NuVa Ring, except I still get these headaches. My boyfriend also notices these mood swings in me.
Last summer, I stopped using NuVa because I went to visit my family and went on vacation. I was really happy and feeling myself, so I don't know if it was the vacation or also not using the NuVa Ring.
I have gone on "breaks" and during these 7 years but when using a
condom I got pregnant once.
I also noticed that my breasts grew larger as soon as I used NuVa ring, although NuVa is supposed to have one of the lowest amounts of hormones, compared to other forms of contraception.
I used to use Meliane pills but NuVa is better because you don't have to really think about it, just remember what week it is.
However, I still feel that these moodswings and left-sided migraines are unbearable, especially when combined with a cold and challenging life as a college student.
I am considering stopping right now as my migraine prevented me from going to school and for the first time I feel sick. Perhaps it is because I used Aleve and Finrexin to cure my cold but the headache won't go away..
Good luck NuVa users!
