It is best to wait unitl your period is
due, and then stop them like that.
There are other methods, and maybe you
should consider them...
Pull out does not work, just in case you
wondered..
Nuva ring is great because it does not go
through your stomach to work =)

Oh no! My periods not due till next week.
I can't handle another day of this
medicine. Well, maybe I can try. Is
there any other solutions?
I just hope it doesn't harm my system in
any way.
What is nuva ring? Is it sometype of
medicine, etc

You finish your pack ...Thats about it.
If you dont finish your pack you'll throw
off your cycle and probably have spotting
or break through bleeding and thus causing
your body to take much longer than
necessary to recover and start ovulating
on its own again.

Im on yasmin 28 so the last seven pills
have no medicinal ingredients . So should
I skip the last seven since they have no
function, or should I take all of them.
Thanks for your help.

No, you do not need to take the placebo
pills..
Nuva ring is birth control in a "ring"
that you insert into your vagina it is
bendy and flexy, so you do not feel it at
all. The hormones do not go through your
stomach or intestines, so you will not
have the tummy aches etc..
Ask your doc about it =)

Women who have stomach issues, or other
side effects often do so very well with
nuva ring =)

Are you suppose to get your period on the
exact same day every month if you're
taking yasmin? Because I am late and it's
nerve wrecking :?

With any kind of birth control, you can
get your period anytime during the placebo
week.

Really? Well then I guess I have to wait
:( . 3 weeks ago I had sex and the condom
came off at one point. I know I wasn't
ovulating because it happened right after
my period. I also know that since im
taking antibiotics, yasmin's effect
decreases. So now im scared because I
still didn't get my period. I have bad
cramps, back pain, im tired, feeling sick
to my stomach, bloated (all signs of
pregnancy - as I read it on an
informational site)
