Anyone On Nuvaring???
Posted: 11-03-03 23:38pm
Hi there. Just wondering if anyone has ever tried the vaginal ring method of birth control called nuvaring. I have heard that it is just as effective as the pill only with fewer side effects (headaches, weight gain etc) due to the decreased level of hormones. It would be great to hear if anyone is using this method and what they think of it. Does it work? Do you find the side effects better than the pill? Does it really stay up there for the whole 3 weeks? Is is difficult to get out? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thx :d

Nuva Ring Great But Expensive
Posted: 01-03-04 19:31pm
I have been on nuva ring for about 6 months and I love it. The first few weeks I was kind of paranoid and I kept thinking did it fall out?? But it never did. The only time it fell out is one time I was still on my period when I had to put one in and when I took out a tampon the ring came out with it, but thats understandable. But I really never feel it or even know its there. Sometimes I feel it during sex, but then I just take it out. It is not difficult to take out at all, as long as you are not squeamish about reaching up in there to get it. But its really great because you don't have to remember to take a pill at the same time every day...I used to be on the pill and could never remember this. Now I just have to remember when to take it out and put one in. The only drawback is it is expensive. My insurance doesn't cover it, I think because its really new or something. At cvs it costs me 45 bucks a month...Does anyone know of anywhere cheaper??? Let me know! Thanks!

Cheaper Bc Options And Wal-mart
Posted: 03-13-04 09:06am
When I started the nuvaring, my health care provider gave me an enrollment form for bc options perscriptions plan. There is no monthly or annual fee. If you mail order through wal-mart you get 3 months for $95.50. You can visit thier website at www.Rxoptions.Net or call 1-800-361-4542. Also, I have a question. I've been on nuvaring for 3 months and still no period. All preg tests have been negative. Is this normal?
Thanks!
