Q: Birth Control (info On the Ring) Raynauds And Birth Control

Okay so this my first one, hoping someone has some answers for me.

I have raynauds and have had it for 10 years. However, because of raynauds I can not be on the pill. But my boyfriend and I feel that we need to be safer. The only birth control I have ever used was condoms (not be graphic but condoms plus pulling out). So this is the first time I will be on anything.

I have researched the ring and seem to think it would be the most efective however they say its like the pill but with a smaller dosage of hormones being released in your body.

So my question, anyone wih raynauds, do you know if I can use the ring?

Also just some questions about the ring...

Cost?

Weight gain?

And any other useful info??

Thanks please help!

I've been on the ring for a few months, however, my insurance does not pay any part of it. Although, it is not too expensive about $36 a month. I really enjoy being on the ring. I can not feel it, and my husband says that he cannot either. I don't know about any interactions with your disease, I would go onto their web site nurvring.Com, or simply ask your obgyn. Good luck!

Being the hormones are being dispersed into your body somewhat like the patch by wearing it, and you have a circulatory disorder I would not hink it would be a good idea. But if your physician oks it and maybe prescribes you something to prevent any stroke or complications to take along with it, and you are supervised well, maybe it would be ok
