scared and alone Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Or been on it? For those who have, what do you think of it? I'm just trying to get feedback because i'm thinking of going on this instead of the pill and it'd be nice to hear experiences. Yes, I do know everyone is different, but I still want to know. lol Link to comment
Bella20 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 i'm just replying because i posted the same thread today... so maybe you'll get some responses i can read Link to comment
WickedSunrise Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I used it for a while, and it was actually pretty good. No major side effects for me and it was convenient! Link to comment
Brittney2008 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I was on it for about a year. Its ok, easy to put in and take out. I never felt it in there and it didn't move or fall out at all. Sometimes my partner could feel it but it wasn't anything uncomfortable. I started to forget which weeks I was in, so I decided to go on the pill so I could get into an everyday routine of remembering it instead of the 3 week on 1 week off. Works better for me to have an everyday routine. Feel free to shoot me a pm if you have any questions. Edit: I should add that while on the NuvaRing I never wanted sex, I had a perfectly normal sex drive before and now have regained it after being off the NuvaRing. Link to comment
spearntime Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Loved it. I would recommend it if you're not as good at remembering daily... You put a sticker on your calendar for the day you need to change it. I did stop using hormones altogether, however. I read Dr. Laura Berman's take on how it really does mess up our libido among many other things in our bodies. After that, I got an IUD. The IUD is GREAT!! Link to comment
greywolf Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I've never tried it but my sister has. She said she loved it except that it made her taste like medicine down there... Link to comment
scared and alone Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Thanks for all the feedback! And its funny, my bf suggested nuvaring, yet he thinks we don't have much of a sex life. I wonder if he knows about the lack of wanting sex with this. haha Spearntime, tell me more about this IUD, please! I've only heard the name, i don't know anything about it! Link to comment

WickedSunrise Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'd be interested in hearing more about the IUD too. I was using the NuvaRing, but decided to stop hormonal bc. Link to comment
Lainers Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I'm on Nuva! I love it! I have a huge sex drive, and it doesnt do anything to me! I wasnt really emotional before my periods when I wasnt on it, so the the only thing that changed was I actually get upset over silly things when I'm nearing my period. But then during my period i'm fine. SO it's like 3 days of being silly and the rest of the month I'm fine. I love it! Link to comment
um.um.what Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I think you should get the implanon, It's the little rod you put in your arm. It wont hurt and last 3 whole years. I think thats more convinient Link to comment
live.laugh.luv Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I just started the Nuva Ring. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I think it is a wonderful invention, lol! I was not doing a good job remembering my pill...and needed something else...and this couldn't be easier! Put it in 3 weeks....take it out one.. I haven't had any side effectS! Link to comment
Bella20 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 just started on nuvaring too. love it. seriously. i was so bad at taking my pill this is so easy, i don't even feel it Link to comment
ResonanceTheory Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I was on it for 3 years...experienced loss of libido (seriously didn't even THINK about sex...but this is after a few years), less wetness during sex and less vaginal discharge at other times of the month. It also lengthened my period to a full week. At first, the ring made my frequent UTIs and yeast infections less frequent, but by the end of the three years, I was getting UTIs at the drop of a dime. Upsides: experienced no spotting, period regular, no unwanted pregnancies, and it never came out or did anything weird like that. I went off of it hoping my libido would go up. It's been about three months since I went off of it now, and I'm back to feeling sexual (but not 100%). No more UTIs. However, my period still has not returned (I haven't had a period for 4 months! and not preggo). I also noticed that now that I am off of the birth control, I have been growing more dark hairs on my face than I ever had before. It's sort of strange. Personally, I would stay away from hormonal BC. It doesn't seem like such a big deal when you're on it, but it really messes with your body chemistry. I hope I'll be back to normal eventually. Never thought I'd be looking forward to getting my period back. Link to comment
Juxtapoz Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 the first time i used it it was great. the next time i used it (5 years later), not so great. I felt so insane. And my boobs ached like crazy. Link to comment
