Nuva Ring

Has anyone tried the Nuva Ring as a form of birth control?? My Dr. recommended and gave me a few months worth of free samples...I am kind of freaked out try try it though, and would love some reviews.

Thanks!!

  • Nope, IUD girl here, but my friend uses Nuva Ring and likes it a lot! She is using it now because she thinks she'll be ready to TTC again at the end of the summer (she has a November 2010 baby).

    ** Shudder ** No way.

    To OP, no thoughts on NuvaRing. Me and hormonal birth control do not mix.

    Well she is 40, the clock is ticking if she wants a second!

  • I tried it a few years ago, a little TMI, but I got a horrendous yeast infection within a couple of days from it and had to take it out. 
  • I loved it while I used it.....super easy, wonderful simple...thought free without inserting things long term into my body. unfortunately my body tends to revolt 2 or 3 years into a BC prescription....things....were dry and uncomfortable....i had headaches and i switched to Ortho low (which now makes me feel like a psycho after almost three years.....oi!)

    (aside...i think its time to try to NFP TTA but I"m gonna have a hard time talking DH into it LOL )

  • I'm on it and really like it. No side effects for me and I love that I can put it in and not think about it for a nother 3 weeks. I was a little skeptical at first, the whole putting it in part creeped me out for some reason. But it's super easy and you really can't mess it up.

    Give it a shot! The worst that can happen is that you won't like it and you'll switch to another form of BC.

  • I was on it for two months and hated it! When I started using it, I began to get intense migraines several times a week and I noticed (as did poor DH) that I was having severe mood swings. Much more than normal PMS. It seems to be very hit or miss with everyone I've spoken to. Some love it, others hate it.

  • I was on it a while ago and loved it. The only reason I went off was because we went on a 7 week road trip and I didn't have the ability to keep it refrigerated. Obviously everyone has different reactions to different BC, so I wouldn't rule it out until you try yourself. This maybe a little TMI, but we when we BIO DH would sometimes get a "ringer" it was hilarious!

    And I had no idea it had to be refrigerated!?
