Well if you're worried about the validity
of home tests you can always make a quick
stop at the doctors-
but given that it's your first month I
wouldn't worry, it's probably just getting
used to it. And you can't tell if you're
pregnant (even the second time!) from
symptoms because they are so much like
symptoms you'll get from pms or birth
control.
It may take up to three months for your
period to regulate on the ring.

1 and a half months later. i had
unprotected sex on november 11 and took a
test 2 weeks later that was - and then
took one on december 25 and it was +.
don't know if my body is just weird or
what. when my best friend got pregnant
none of the test were + all were - and she
took like 5 or 6. So test don't work like

That's ok.  But like I said, it
could just be due to getting used to the
hormones. If you're still worried you can
always take multiple tests or stop in with
your doc.

so i just started the nuvoring a few days
ago, so far so good. i've tried bc pills
in the past and they made me moody and
took away my sex drive completely. my bf
said he can't feel the ring which is
great!
just a question, my urine has turned like
a neon yellow almost green, has this
happened to anyone ???

I have been on the pill for 6 month and i
love it i cant use the pill because i cant
remember to take it everyday.my doctor
told me not to take depo the shot. it can
make you infertile. so she gave me nuva
ring i love it. i dont know if it works or
i just didn't get pregnant yet. it can be
a little bit uncomfortable when having sex
if it is not in properly i think the best
way is to kneel down and insert in. and
you wont even feel it and it wont come
out. the only problem i have with it is
that it takes my sex drive away it gives
me a little bit of black heads and i
notice i dont gain weight it helps me with
my bowel movements also. i notice the
change because i been forgeting to take it
out at the third week and im also forgot
to insert in after the week free is up. so
i decided to take a month off. so i notice
the differece from when im on it or off
it. when i took a month off my face
cleared up i started to have bowel
movement problems again. i gain back my
sex drive i felt like me again. now im
back on the ring and i have no bowel
movement problems bumps are appearing on
my face again but its not acne. my sex
drive went down. but i think its the best
thing to prevent pregnancy out of all
contraceptives because there is no real
side effect it has a low doseage. and if
you plan to have children you can stop
taking the ring and your body goes right
back to normal. but since i been forgeting
and i took a month off with out using any
back up. i suspect that i may be pregnant
because my breast are enlarging and im
always feeling sleepy and tired. if there
is any one out there that was on nuvaring
and became pregnant please let me know the
risk or how it is what happens what do you
do?

How can you tell if your ovulating? I

You can't. Almost no women have "ovulation
pains". Less than 10% I'd say. Even that
is debated as to whether it is real or
not.
ACooper's extreme pain was most likely NOT
ovulation but instead another severe issue
that should be looked at by another
ob-gyn. Ovulation pain, if it happens, is
generally mild. I would in fact guess
ovarian cysts.

Horrified

Hello everyone! Well I have been a Nuva
Ring user for about 3 years now. I had run
out recently (about like two months ago)
and I refilled my Rx and started again
after one month of no bc. I put it in at
the right time and waited more than 7 days
before having sex, and I had just found
out that I miscarried. I am horrified that
this happened. I trusted NuvaRing for so
long and I absolutely loved it and I am
very disheartened about it because this
happened. I realize nothing is 100% other
than abstinence, but I guess I was sort of
counting on this never happening. I dont
know, its a great form of bc because it is
user friendly, but I don't think I will
ever depend on any bc like I did NuvaRing
again,...

Just Looking For Some Advice

I just started the Nuvaring and so far
it's not bad...I've only been on it for
about a week and half tho. However, this
is my sort of problem and i wanna make
sure i'm ok. I went to the dr on november
28th to get on birth control and he put me
on the nuvaring. he said to put it in the
sunday after i start my period. I started
my period like that day or the 29th.
Well...I didn't b/c i was still sort of on
my period around the 2nd of december. So
i started it the next sunday (december 9).
Is this good or bad? I now know that i
should've put it in on the 2nd, whether or
not i was done with my period but i didnt.
Some people are telling me I'm fine, not
to worry, and that my cycle will be off a
bit and that Ill get my period a week
later because I started the ring a week
later. Then some people are scaring me
and saying that my system is gonna be all
screwed up. Just need some reassurance or
advice on what to think. Plus i'm going
to see someone this weekend and sex most
likely will happen...I just want to make
sure I'll be protected with the nuvaring
b/c last time the condom broke and i had
to take the morning after pill and i
really dont want to do that again!

I have been on the Nuvaring for almost 6
mos. now and I love it! The first couple
of months, I had a lot of nausea and
headaches, but that is mostly gone now.
I haven't really gained weight, except
maybe a little in my boobs (lol!), and I
haven't noticed significant mood changes.
(Also, I am prone to anxiety and
depression and still haven't had a hard
time).
I recently switched to a 28 days in, 7
days out schedule, and I'm currently
having a relatively heavy period, though
it's only been 21 days. But, it takes time
to adjust.
My husband loves it! No sensation
problems, but, after 8 years of condoms,
this is a HUGE improvement!!
Best of luck!

I have two friends one being one of my
best friends who got pregnant on the ring.
And when she told me that when she and her
mom went to the doctor, very upset, the
doctor told her the chances of not getting
PG. is not 99.% effective more like 60%
and 70%. I dont know how true that is but.
I do know from personal exsprience having
endometrisois i've been on Birth control
from the time i was 12 to 19 20. I took
everthing from the pill to the patch to
the shot and after a while nothing worked.
I got pregnant on the pill when i was 16
then misscarried it. I bleed for 80% of my
senior year. Cramps that will bucke your
knees and make you think your in labor. My
doctor explained that once you are on any
birthcontrol for so long your body can
grow immune to it and it wont work. I quit
taking any type of birthcontrol for a year
and a half and it has been the only time
since i have started my period at 11 my
cycle has been normal, cramp less and it
last all of 3 days!!! Yeah it's great, but
now my b/f wants us to be safe and me
possibly go back to birthcontrol so i'm
tring yaz. I dont have much faith in any
of it but i will give it a shot!!! Hope
this helps someone!!!

It's not true at all; that doctor lied.
The effectiveness of the ring is above
90%. The ring is actually much more
effective than the pill because it is much
harder to "mess up" the ring.
Some women just don't respond to hormonal
birth control. Some women are just very
fertile.
I used to get cramps like that all the
time but that's just me.
USE CONDOMS!!! Also, there is a ton of
non-hormonal birth controls you can try.
There is a spermicidal film, there is the
copper coil IUD, there is female condoms,
spermicide, the sponge, diaphragms,
cervical caps etc. It sounds like hormonal
birth control is not the right answer for
you, so please look into these other
options!! My mother used a cervical cap
with great success.
