Does the Pill Cause Poor Circulation? Posted: 09-29-03 14:43pm
Has anyone had circulation problems while
on the pill?
My wife complains of cold hands and feet,
and complains about aching in her shins
and feet. She thinks it is poor
circulation.
Anyone else had this experience?

I have never heard of that, but she might
want to call her doctor. It could be an
allergic reaction. Call and find out!
You seem like a great, concerned husband!

Yes, the pill can cause circulation
problems...This is one of the negative
side effects. Although it does not occur
in most people, it does in some, and your
wife may be one of them. If she is
complaining about poor circulation and
pain in the legs, feet, arms, or hands,
definately get it checked out by a doctor
as soon as possible to rule out anything
overly serious. Good luck

No, she is not "big". Unless you call
5-5, 130 lbs big.
Besides, being "big" would make you hot,
because of the extra insulation your body
has.

Yes, It Can Posted: 10-20-03 17:58pm
In fact, I just got off the pill about a
month ago for that very reason!!! My legs
seemed to progressively hurt more and
more!! I sit in a chair nine hours a day
so i'm sure that doesn't help!! I plan on
going to my doctor this week. I'll let
you know what she says. I do know in rare
cases the pill can cause blood clots.
That's when I started to get scared, and
got off the pill.... And now my legs
don't hurt anymore!!! Will let you
know....

Poor Circulation - Went to the Dr. Today Posted: 10-22-03 20:08pm
My doctor recommended I try a loser dose -
she recommend the nuvaring for me - the
first contraceptive vaginal ring......
It's the losest dose you can get....So
hopefully shouldn't have any side
effects.....
