Common Questions and Answers about Nuvaring vs the pill

nuvaring

Avatar f tn Well I started the Nuvaring on the 17th of February... the first day of my period which is what the doctor told me to do. Its now the 8th of March and Im still bleeding. Very lightly, but its enough to have me wear a liner every single day. Last night I woke up feeling extremely sick. Today, this morning, I started vomiting. Could I be pregnant? Is there a chance? Its so confusing because there have been so many women who have gotten pregnant while using a birth control contraceptive.
Avatar f tn t know why so when I went back to the doctor I told him about it and that was a side effect from the nuvaring. I mean I was bloated so bad that it hurt. I was in constant pain. so I would go with a birth control pill..
1027094 tn?1327429732 it is supposed to be just as effective as the pill, but people do get pregnant on the pill as well! I was told the time of day does'nt really matter as long as it is the right day, but it probably would be even better if it waa around the same time. take a pregnancy test and find out for sure!
Avatar f tn hello, the same thing just happend to me - I thought I would have my period and started with hormonal contraception (I don´t take the pill but the NuvaRing). Now I realized that it wasn´t my period at all and I didn´t got my period since I started taking the NuvaRing (1 week ago). My questio is: how about birth-control?? will I now need to use another contraception-method or does hormonal contraception also work when you start taking it without having your period?
Avatar m tn I had my period the 3rd thru the 9th of October 2011. On the 10th of October i had intercourse and by the 13th Oct. 2011 i took a day after pill. The 17th - 20th Oct, I started my period again, because of the plan B. Now, on the 4th of November 2011 I started the Nuva ring. I waited a week after starting Nuvaring to reengage in sex, different partner and unprotected.
Avatar f tn I am 3 days late now and kinda nervous! This also happened when I tried the pill. The only thing I changed from the pill because it made me sick and completey changed my period. I am hoping it will come soon like what happened with the pill..
Avatar m tn I was on the pill for a while and the same thing happened. What wound up working for you?
7600327 tn?1393358885 Hi Ladies... I have been on the NuvaRing for a long time. While I had the NuvaRing in I started spotting & then the spotting turned into a regular period. I know your period isn't supposed to come on until you take the NuvaRing out, but I also know you can experience some bleeding while on birth control. Nevertheless I made a doctor's appointment & found out I was pregnant.
Avatar n tn When I started dating my boyfriend, whom I am still dating today, I was on the pill. I switched to the Nuvaring because I thought that it was a more reliable option for me because I would always forget to take the pill. About 5 months after starting to use Nuvaring, things began to change between us. We still love each other very much but he gets a weird feeling like he isn't supposed to be with me. I have been looking into something called Major Histocompatibility Complex or MHC.
398532 tn?1231463960 I just had my six week PP check up and my doctor prescribed nuvaring as my birth control. I have been reading into it online and it says not to use it while breastfeeding. Even the nuvaring website says not to use it while breastfeeding. My doctor knows I am nursing... What are your opinions?
Avatar f tn I was on the NuvaRing for 3 months straight and used it to skip my cycle. After the 3rd or 4th week I would take it out & put in a new ring. While doing this I still bled either light or really heavy. I stopped using the NuvaRing the week before Thanksgiving. My husband & I started trying to make a baby soon after taking the ring out. I have not had a cycle since i’ve taken the NuvaRing out and it’s going on a month now.

Avatar f tn Toward the end of July I took out my Nuvaring and discontinued my use of it because of all the side affects that I have recently become aware of. I am not on any other type of BC at the moment but for the last week or more my nipples have been EXTREMELY sore..so sore that a touch makes me cringe and back away immediately. After removing the Nuvaring, I got my period from July 29th-Aug 1 so I am due to get it again in about a week.
Avatar f tn s more like a watered down blood . is this normal ? what are the chances if me getting pregnant ? should I go get a plan b pill ?
Avatar f tn And i read about treatments and diferent kind of birth control. And it has complications with the condition. Wich pill is the best. Wich treatment is the best.
Avatar n tn I'm assuming you mean a morning after pill. They have high levels of hormones, and can mess with your period. Because of the odd timing, even a first response test *might* not be accurate for another month, although if it's positive, that's probably a true response. You should probably consult with your ob/gyn. For the future, you need a different form of birth control. The morning after pill is not meant to be your primary method of birth control.
7535508 tn?1391720305 It is likely to become pregnant as your fertility returns to normal the second they remove the implants from your arm. And since you didn't start taking your nuva ring until a week later it wouldn't have been working yet. I'm pretty sure it's the same as the pill where you need to use condoms as well for a month before it is fully in your system. Take a test soon and find out because you need to get off BC asap if you are pregnant.
Avatar f tn I've had pills and nuvaring. I'm in the same boat as you. I forgot pills. I'm scared the shot will make me gain weight. I'm allergic to latex so can't use the patch. My doctor won't do IUDs for personal reasons which I agree with. My coworker got the implanon and she is allergic to it and itches like crazy and she said it really hurts. I think I'll end up going back on nuvaring. I didn't gain weight.
Avatar n tn I started Nuvaring September the 18th of this year and I did not have sex till October 1st but me and my partner didn't use a condom and he came inside me, do I have to use a contraception pill or will I be okay?
Avatar n tn I just looked up Nuvaring and it looks like chest pain and numbness on one side of the body are side effects. http://www.medhelp.org/drugs/NuvaRing/show/3399 I don't know if you would typically experience these symptoms so quickly though.
Avatar f tn So when my boyfriend and I have sex it hurts. At first it hurt just in certian positions, now it hurts all the time. It's a burning/stinging sort of hurt and I was wondering if the NuvaRing caused a rash in my vagina. I've been using the NuvaRing for about 8 months now so I don't know why I'd be having a reaction to it now..
Avatar f tn I plan on exclusively breastfeeding and getting my partner to use condoms. I actually got pregnant with this one on the pill, and I don't like the way my body reacted to the depo shot. After 9 months of pregnancy I want to give my body chance to heal and my hormones to get back to normal before I start putting fake hormones in there.
1297979 tn?1272746390 Here's the story. I had a leep procedure (shaving off part of your cervix due to high risk pap) the end of march right after my period ended. 2 weeks later (mid april) I got the go ahead to have sex and start my new Birth Control nuvaring. That night we had unprotected sex in the middle of the night and the next morning I put in my nuvaring for the first time. Since then I've been having crazy hot flashes, I'm more tired, and sometimes feel alittle sick.
Avatar f tn I loved the nuvaring! But I have visual migraines that cause me to. E on a low estrogen kind of birth control, so it was that, pill, arm implant, or iud. I did the pill for a while, but I'm not responsible enough to take it daily at the same time.
Avatar n tn I went home on break and checked my calendar and realized i should have taken the nuvaring out the day before. I took the ring i had in out, and went back to work for four hours until i could pick up my new nuvaring at the pharmacy after work. I put it in as soon as i got home, thinking i was putting it in on the first day of my period so i would be immediately protected. I woke up the next morning and now there is no blood, so i must not be having a period.
Avatar f tn Yeast infection, I use to be on the nuvaring and it did that to me to, my doctor took me off it and put me on the pill
Avatar f tn She told me that the oral pill would metabolize through the liver much faster on Modafinil and so she put me on the Nuvaring. (I thought that would be metabolized the same way- but I’m no doctor)! I just went to get a new Nuvaring at my pharmacy and the pharmacist told me the same thing, that Modafinil will affect my birth control. If there is an option where I am protected?
Avatar n tn s right that a different method may be better for you if you have trouble remembering. The patch or the NuvaRing might be a good choice if you don't like the idea of an implant or an IUD (patch is once a week, NuvaRing is in for 3 weeks, out for 1).
