Common Questions and Answers about Nuvaring and leg cramps

nuvaring

Avatar f tn The cramps could be because of the Nuvaring. Remember that you're putting a foreign object in to your body so your body could react to that by cramping. Since it's so close to your period the cramps might be because you're getting ready to start. I recommend you see your gynecologist to tell him/her what happened. They might want to do a blood test to see if you're pregnant. Blood tests can detect very early pregnancies.
Avatar f tn I struggle with back pain, leg pain, abdominal cramps, headaches, and stomach aches during my period as well as stabbing ovulation pain and PMS cramps in the weeks leading up to my period. I am stuck taking ibuprofen and Tylenol, but as of recently taking these painkillers seems to be less effective in dealing with my pain. Also, I sometimes get awful nausea after taking ibuprofen. I don’t want to hurt myself with painkillers, but I also don’t want to be in pain all day.

9406173 tn?1403588622 My symptoms started last week. I am feeling nauseous, having leg cramps, mood swings, weird cravings (like mnm dipped in cheese), my period was a day late and it keeps starting and stopping . I went to the er today and they sent me home saying I have a uti. I know that a uti is not causing all my symptoms. I know im not pregnant and im on nuavring. I dont know whats wrong with me. I need help. I cant go see my doctor because of work. I work Monday thur Saturday from 9-7.
1134902 tn?1296066144 I then felt my cervix which felt like another fleshy bit was coming out of it, so with thumb and forefinger in me I grabbed the tissue and attached to it was a dark purple grape sized and shaped mass. Very light cramps, all neg preg tests. Are these just endometrial tissue,? the mass wasn't wet and slimy but solid feeling... Was it a blood clot? Could it have been blocking my cervix and causing my last period to be spotting for the 3 weeks?
1134902 tn?1296066144 I am now on day 3 of no nuvaring and I am cramping bleeding large blood clots and I cant find any info about what to expect after the removal and stopping the use of nuvaring
Avatar f tn The cramps have continued, mainly bowel cramps and nausea. I saw a doctor and they said it was probably either IBS or side effects from the Nuvaring. I have been taking omeprazole, hopefully it will help.
1580452 tn?1296439703 I've had absolutely horrible menstrual cramps for the past several years, to the point that my doctor prescribed percocet for me to take for every period (I can't take NSAIDs like Aleve, Motrin, etc.). I got a Mirena IUD to see if that would help (it didn't, but I still have the IUD) and have been using Nuvaring for almost two months.
Avatar f tn I am currently on the NuvaRing and I have been having trouble inserting it and having it stay in. I have been on it for about 5 years now and I am recently having trouble with it. I feel like I can't push it all the way in. It is supposed to stay inside with your vagina muscles, but I find myself always having to push it back in. I have a history of ovarian cysts, that is why i was put on NuvaRing.
Avatar f tn Hi Lisa, OK have just done a little reaserch, and yes Nuvaring could be the reason for your ongoing cramps or cramping, if you google Nuvaring bad cramping 2 years, you will find your not the only one, and if you go down somebody is doing a survey on Nuvaring, so you can add to it if you fill that way. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn I then have had sex 3 more times since then. My period is due in 2 days and I have been experiencing cramps for about 4-5 days now. yesterday afternoon I peed 4 times in 6 hours. I am having 3 BM's a day( very unlike me) I have had a constant runny nose. I do not have ANY breast enlargement or tenderness( very flat chested) I have also experienced some intense back pain at times. if anyone could give me insight and support I would appreciate it.
Avatar f tn Hormonal birth control is elm known to cause changes in the appearance, consistency and timing of a woman's period. Therefore, you don't need to worry about it. There's nothing unusual about it.
Avatar n tn t remove my nuvaring to have a period (my doctor said it was completely fine to take out the old one and insert a new one to prevent period.) I take it out usually before sex and wash my hands and rinse the ring off before re-inserting it. About three days ago I had some tingling after urination but not really a burning feeling. This lasted two days and mostly went away, yesterday and today i only get that tingly feeling while peeing when I first wake up.
1927233 tn?1326670387 Ok Im on the Nuvaring and have been for a long time now however I bleed real bad still ( ill bleed for at least 2 weeks straight if not more) and I have Endometriosis so with all this bleeding doesnt it make Endo worse?
Avatar f tn I been feeling very sick, nauseated, sore boobs,headaches, cramps, and stomach feel like its twirling. Could I be pregnant?
Avatar f tn YES! It can cause diabetes! It is listed as glucose intolerance in the side effects. I went though 8 months of #@!& on nuvaring. I went to the doc because I wad exhausted all of the time, fuzzy brained, and starting to loose my hair. When I asked if it could be the birth control, my question was dismissed. They tried to put me on all of this medication for slightly elevated blood sugar. I refused. I decided to go off the nuvaring, which I was on only for acne.
11297526 tn?1417034765 Have any of you gotten pregnant the first month on Nuvaring? Or has it ever made you THINK you're pregnant because of its side effects? I've had the following: Mild cramps for the past 5 days Headaches Fatigue According to the app I'm 3weeks. (If I am pregnant) I would like to hear your experiences is all. I'll be testing with an hpt soon.
Avatar f tn It was weird because it was brown at first . But the next day it was bright red and heavy and has been that way since . It is the fourth day since it came back on and still cramping , still heavy and seems like clots coming out . What's wrong with me ? Could it be a miscarriage ? I'm scared because I might be losing too much blood ! :/ (This is very abnormal for my period !
Avatar n tn All of the extra hormones, including the hormones inside of the semen, make your vagina very sensitive to semen. When i was on the nuvaring...semen burned. Nuvaring=hormones. No nuvaring and not pregnant=fine. Now 36 weeks pregnant and semen burns.
Avatar f tn Your symptoms sound similar to a potential serious side effect my gynecologist warned me about when I started Nuvaring. As I recall, the painful lump is a blood clot traveling up your leg so it can give you that aneurysm you always wanted but could never afford. Seriously, her advice was something along the lines of GTFO ER ASAP (I'm out of acronyms), unless you want an aneurysm for some reason. I have heard that it's a relatively quick, painless, and surprising way to die.
889551 tn?1416184483 Lexi is nine months old now, and I quit birth control three or four months ago because I tried the NuvaRing and hated it (my cervix was really low when I put it in, and it made it uncomfortable). This month I had spotting at ovulation, and I didn't think anything of it until DH told me that the condom had broke two days before the spotting started. At 8 dpo I started spotting and have been spotting brown and red ever since.
Avatar f tn I woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible pain in the inner elbow of my left arm, and had pain and tingling and numbness in my left lower leg and hand as well. My heart was pounding out of my chest and I had a bad headache. I stood up and nearly fell down, and had nausea. I thought I was having a heart attack and called 911, the emt's thought it was just a panic attack.
730826 tn?1317943334 I'm on nuvaring too and I'm usually way more than 3 days late. I'll take the ring out on Sunday and then won't get my period until Friday. I know how you feel, though. I get totally freaked out when my period is late too. But the reply before yours, peekawho, is right. Wait a week and test again.
