Ortho Cycle Vs Nuva Ring ... Preferences??? Posted: 06-09-06 12:45pm
I posted this on my usual forum but they
are not exactly being "helpful" so I was
wondering if you guys have any input.
Well since we decided to wait until after
the wedding to get pregnant it looks like
im going back on my birth control after
this cycle. However I was wondering which
method u ladies preferred. I was on the
pill before (ortho cyclen) but I was
taking 2 a day and after 4 months it
really started taking its toll I didnt
want to have sex at all ... I didnt even
want him touching me really and it made me
sooo grouchy I couldnt even stand myself
and it really put a strain on everyone.
However my midwife recently gave me a
prescription for the nuva ring and a
prescription for ortho cyclen but only
taking one of them a day instead. So I
was wondering what u ladies preferred and
why because I dont know what id rather use
at this point. I dont want to be like I
was before but I dont noe if itll be
different taking just one a day.
If anyone can give opinions thanks a
bunch!!!

I took yasmin for awhile and it made me
crazy, so I switched to ortho tri cyclen
lo and thought it was fine, but i'm bad at
remembering to take the pill each day. I
told my Dr. And she switched me to the
nueva ring. At first I thought it was
great, but everytime I had sex I could
feel it in me and I wasn't enjoying it
because I thought my boyfriend could feel
it too. I just was uncomfortable (but
only during sex). Well, since I want to
enjoy sex (for obvious reasons) I have
switched back to ortho tri cyclen lo. I
think it's worth taking the pill each day
then having to feel some ring up there and
making sex uncomfortable.
However, apparently some people never feel
it at all. Perhaps you'll be one of the
lucky ones because the ring is really
easy.

Dosage: Tri-Cyclen Pill VS NuvaRing Posted: 07-04-08 16:40pm
I have been taking Tri-Cyclen 28 for years
now, and am happy with the results...both
for birh control and mild acne management.
I have been thinking of switching to the
NuvaRing because it's cheaper and I don't
need to worry about scheduling a pill
everyday (cause I've been having a crazy
month and skipped a few pills).
My main cocerns about the NuvaRing is the
dicomfort level [with having a foreign
object lodge up there for 3wks] and the
dose levels. Will it provide sufficient
hormones.

You can totally feel the ring during sex
but the good news is that you can have it
for for up to 3 hours without it losing
its effectiveness. I was always really bad
about remembering to take the pill so the
nueva ring is GREAT for me! I haven't had
any side effects at all yet. I initially
got on birthday control because of my
severe cramps and other things and even my
first period while on the ring was lighter
and not as painful. I was way less moody
the week before and have had less
headaches. I swear by it!!
