I used Nuvaring for one month and it made me miss my period that month. I started spotting on day 26 and started having severe cramps. I inserted the new ring on day 28 and got to where the cramps were unbearable and I was bleeding more. I removed the ring and started flowing heavy so I tried to insert a tampon but it wouldn't go in. Never had that problem before while flowing heavy like I was.
I have been on the Nuvaring for the past couple of months and have not had any side effects. I always get my period within 3 days of taking the ring out and my period is completely normal ( I don't need anything more than a regular sized tampon to keep me covered). About 4 weeks ago my boyfriend came to visit me (he's in the army), and every time we had sex we had to remove the Nuvaring (it bothers me during sex) and he would ejaculate inside of me.
A couple days ago I went to the bathroom. After I finished I put in a new tampon and flushed the toilet. Shortly after I couldn't remember if I took out the first one. The second one came out with a little blood, but I haven't had any more since. It had been about 5 or 6 days which is a normal cycle for me. I have searched in there a little and didn't find anything. I have felt just fine and the second one went in with no struggle.
LEGALLY your mother can't force you to get the shot. IT can make you gain weight, I put 50+ lbs on with it.
Personally I'd suggest the Nuvaring if it's an option. I spent 3 months on it and LOVED It!
The reason is Nuvaring is low dose, you won't normally put weight on with it, and it's easier than a pill and you don't have to remember it every day the same time.
Its a small flexible ring, you or your doctor insert it sort of like a tampon (but with your fingers) and it stays in place 3 weeks. It lessened my acne, I never gained weight, I had no hormonal issues with it. I hate pills, I can't remember to take them and they always made me gain weight. But the nuva ring is expensive if you don't have insurance! It's over 100 $ a month.
However, when I got ready to change my tampon, something fell out of my vagina! It looked like a piece of skin about the size of my palm and it was covered in dark dark blood, nearly black. I went to the ER and they didn't know what it was so they sent it off to a pathologist to be tested. Dr ruled out miscarriage. I'm still having light spotting which I assume is due to my period however I normally bleed heavy during menstruation.
I just started the nuvaring about a week and a half ago. I was already experiencing yeast infections pretty often. Since the ring it seems worse. I cant get rid of this YI. Ive tried eating yogurt a lot, eating less sugar, probiotics, vitamin d, putting apple cider vinegar where it itches. I have also tried monistat and the pill my doctor gave me for yeast. Im experiencing a watery discharge. Im 16 and my mom wont help me and i dont have many other options for birth conrtol.
Its not BV unless you are in pain during sex and have a odor. Nuvaring does the same thing with me , Once it is place for the first week you will get a smell and then it will go away . My GYN said its the hormones and bacteria mixing. Nothing to be worried about . Its just an annoyance. You can take Luke warm baths , eat more yogurt to prevent BV or a Yeast infection from starting. I never got BV or Yeast from the odor you smell during the first week on the nuvaring.
I'm 23 years old, and I just started wearing tampons (have done so 4-5 times already), after many years of wearing pads (had my frist period when I was nine). (Other relevant information: I've never had sex). I have been using a gentle glide applicator with a super absobency tampon. I have minimal discomfort putting the applicator in, but I have extreme difficulty and a sharp pain taking it out. I was considering switching to regular tampons instead but my flow is super heavy -- after 3.
My periods have been very heavy with the past one lasting two weeks with large tissue discharge. It just ended Sunday after beginning one week before removing Nuvaring and only ending once Nuvaring was reinserted. It is so irregular that I could bleed any time of the month at any intensity for any period of time. This past one was so bad that I had to sleep with a heating pad nightly. What could this mean?
(And a good thing, too, it is a pain to lose the tampon strings inside the vagina and have to fish around for them.) If a tampon hurts on pulling it out, it is because it is not very wet with menstrual fluid. On a light day of your period flow, a tampon won't get filled. The cotton sticks to the walls of the vagina, and pulling it out can be a bit of a twinge. On the other side of the coin, sometimes a tampon can get saturated and you don't know, and it can leak through.
I was diagnosed with HPV at least 5 years ago and occasionally have abnormal pap smears but for the most part have no pain or issues with it and have been with the same partner for 3.5 years. For a while, I was taking my NuvaRing in and out before and after sex to avoid bleeding but when the problem didn't go away, the doctor recommended leaving it in because the constant removal of the ring may have been causing even more irritation to my cervix.
not pregnant. annnd he broke up with me. via facebook chat. awesome.
Again, I felt belittled after she told me there was nothing wrong and that she’s never seen swelling with nuvaring (or at least that it’s rare), like she thought I was imagining it. So she encouraged me to try it again, and a week later I swear that it feels very swollen again. I have read about swelling from tissue irritation and vaginitis being caused by nuvaring, but I don’t want to make another appointment if I am just being paranoid and for them to tell me nothing is wrong again.
