I am on the Nuva Ring right now and i find that im not liking it either....i always forget when to take it out or lose track of the days and i find i have a really low labido as well...i was thinking about the IUD or whatever its called...that birth control you can have for 5 years but i have heard a few bad things about it...not really sure what other BC is out there since the pill doesnt work for me either...
was on seasonale for about a year and i only got a period every 3 months which i loved and I didn't notice until after I went off it that when I was on the pill it made me very moody and angry and i never wanted to have sex and so when I went off it I felt like such a huge weight had been lifted off me and I felt so much better. I switched to mirena which is an uid. I've been on it about a year and a half and I'm happy, my sex drive is back and I never get a period anymore which is amazing
@MissNathalieAnn Check out Ormeloxifene aka Centchroman. It has all of the benefits and almost no side effects. Look it up at Wikipedia and internet forums to double check yourself.. It is sold in india, but if you google it enough, you can ship it here. My ex and I used it for months without problems. We were very careful to use it in conjunction with spermicides though.
Read the possible side effects tho: Women who have PCOS, or have chronic cervicitis or cervical hyperplasia should not take it, according to the package insert that comes with Saheli as it is packaged for sale in India. The insert also lists ‘severe allergic conditions,’ ‘chronic illnesses like tuberculosis, renal disease,’ and ‘recent or past history of jaundice or liver disease’ as contraindications. That said, its been around since the 80's and no one has complained of any major side effects.
I am not trying to convince woman that the pill is bad or should be illegal but hormonal birth control that can cause decresed sex drive in some women
watch?v=ssL2RHEoJgI
Tray switching to non hormonal methods like condoms, diaphragm with spermicide, cervical cap with spermicide, vaginal sponge with spermicide, or an implant (it can be removed by a Dr. any time and last 5 years). Some times it is as simple as this that can fix part of the problem.
My gf uses this and its Ben over a year. This ring will make you feel off for a awhile until your body fully gets used to the hormone, and then you feel fine agian.
hi laci, good to c u teaching this info to the youth. i do as well in clinics. i knw im like extra late but since we have a similar nuvaring journey lol i just wanted 2c if u heard of the "implanon" its a new implant contraceptive inserted in the upper inner arm. it last for 3 years. so look it up, check it out and i wish u the best. many women swear by it but as u knw everyone reacts differently. it has no estrogen jus an fyi. keep up the good work;-)
I have the nuvaring and I feel the same way! Did you ever find something to switch to? I hate the pill, the shot and iuds. Looks like I'm just screwed... right?
hi i have been off the pill for about a month and a half now and i have recently been getting really sore breasts and feeling really bloated.. i took a pregnancy test 1 test was positive and the other was a negative.. what does this mean? please help.. thank you
I personally love the NuvaRing! I have been on it for 7 months now and the only problem I had with it is that I did not know that I should not take St. John's Wort while on the NuvaRing and I had some spotting. I discontinued taking St. John's Wort and I have been absolutely peachy ever since! ^.^ The only downfall is that, apparently some guys can feel it, so if that's a problem, you can take it out for up to 3 hours at a time! :D I would not go on any other form of BC; I LOVE MY NUVARING! <3
i actually tried depot provera as my first birth control method. for 3 months i was absolutely confused and depressed. suddenly i did not love my boyfriend. for a week or two at a time. very scary, very confusing. that is strong stuff, so be careful if youre considering it. i then switched to nuva ring afterwards and, because its a combination estrogen/ and whatever the other chemical is it was easier on my body. i felt no change in emotions and its the most wonderful thing for 20 bucks a month.
i'm gonna say what a lot of other people have probably already said (i didnt read any other comments, im lazy)
But, sex is awesome. there's no reason anyone shouldn't try it. do it daily, heck at least once a week! if you're in a relationship, keep it faithful. if you're single, wear a damn condom every time.
and another thing: how about giving me a ride sometime? :D
At first i kinda liked the nuvaring... It's easy, convenient... I haven't noticed any mood swings or anythnig(and I watch how I'm acting really carefully anyway, have to) but I noticed it seems to effect how some things... work. Like making them grosser. I'm kind of ocd so that's an issue for me, lol. I'll be making an appointment with my doc within the next week for a pill.
I love how you noticed the changes in your body. I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and I went crazy. I was exactly how you described: depressed, pessimistic, introverted, etc. I got off of it in a second! I haven't been on BC for a while and I'm hoping Nuvaring will work for me. I just hated how I felt on the pill and I NEVER want to feel like that again.. Hope all is well with you! :)
Nothing man made does anything medical as well as your NATURAL body function. Pregnancy a concern? Abstinence or wear a condom, both are drug free and effective.
Medicine is MEGA HUGE business, but remember that pills haven't even been around 100 years and people are MILLIONS of years into our evolution. In other words no pill can truly be tested for all effects, some my affect your kids or grandkids (that you don't even have yet) 30-40 years after their birth.
@SgtKickaxe sorry, but a condom only works sometimes. i've had more than one condom break and its scary. its true that medecine is a huge business but dont forget, when people didnt have the pill or anything, they WERENT just fine. they got pregnant and then they were forced to raise a child they didnt want. so, since nuvaring uses chemicals that ARE naturally produced by our bodies, you just have to find the match that is the closest to your original levels.
I watched both NuvaRing reviews, and I agree with everything Laci said. At first I felt great about the ring, I don't feel it and my boyfriend doesn't either. Also, my period is perfectly regular and so so light.
Now, for the past two months my libido is, like she said, way down. I either feel apathetic or depressed, nothing feels interesting or fun, I'm just going through the motions each day. I've been on the NuvaRing for six months and I'm using my last one.
Hello, may i know what contraceptive method are you on right now? i have a friend who talked about crazy mood swings from nuvaring as well... i dont know if i should get it or not... thanks!

I'm terrible at taking the pill, have a family history of reactions to the shot ( six of my close relations, yeah I know big family ), had personal issues with the ring and my Dr. Has Recommended that I wait till after childbirth to use the IUD mirena because of my cervix... Been using spermicidal foams and condoms but have a very fertile background. Can anyone recommend me anything. I am the oldest woman( at 25 ) in my family in three generations to not have kids already but it has taken mon
I'm thinking of trying the Nuvaring and am a little nervous about the emotional side effects. Would you say the pros outweigh the cons in your experience with it? I'm really hoping it'll cut down on my bad cramps too!
I just started the ring like a week ago..still on my period, lighter yes, but over 7 days of aunt flo..yuck! I have had more back pain and cramps since starting. Normally 3days tops of cramps, almost 6 with the ring. Not taking a pill everyday is nice, but so far, thats the only plus.
@BlueDarjeeling all i had was a bad experience i just took it out like 2 weeks ago and started something else because my hair started falling out like really bad :( and i was seriously feeling like suicidal and stuff which is totally not normal for me i am not that way at all so just watch it carefully and if you notice anything weird just dont use it anymore
gosh this is the first video, where you actually sound like a normal human being (no adhd)or did u switch from nuva ring to ritalin? either way not everything about you is bad, u have a cute smile.
I was thinking of switching to a form of birth control that doesn't involve taking pills, because while I am really good at taking them on time, it takes a Herculean effort on my part. Also, they are the only non-vegan things I consume (they contain lactose), and I don't like that. This is making me reconsider, though. My birth control pills work great for me, so perhaps I should leave them be.
Oh I am SO glad I came across this video!! I've been on nuvaring for 2 months, and same as you, I was feeling down, depressed, and probably the MOST annoying side effect was my completely deflated libido. (Husband was even less happy about that...) So glad to hear that I'm not the only one!
@ZenaRoxLaLaLand She said that she was too paranoid to use ONLY a condom. She uses a condom, in addition to hormonal birth control to make sure that she doesn't get pregnant.
I got an IUD about 3 months ago, and it is AMZING! the first month was hell-- crampy, spotty, but no change in mood. However, after the first month passed, things got better, and i actually havent gotten my period sense (which is totally normal.... your period stops after a while, and for some people it happens sooner than others) it has been working sooo well for me, and i really recommend it. Kaiser paid for it, and so it was also free :) its called mirena-- message me if you have Qs!
I take my back comment, i am sorry. I didn't realize you were older then 14. You really should update this video or put a comment saying your age. You really look extremely young. My bad.
@johnnyjaaav I actually have lived on my own for quite some time, work 2 jobs--1 at a law firm and 1 teaching sex ed at a high school, about to go to graduate school, and been with my partner for a year. Of course this is irrelevant in reality, sexuality is a beautiful part of life from young to old. Your oppressive attitude is shameful at best.
@johnnyjaaav i dnt think its ur goddamn place to tell someone else wut the fuk they should and should not do...who the fuk died and made u god all mighty...stfu u celabate panzee
The only place I found on the internet for affordable NuvaRing and etc... birth control without insurance is: MyCycle Direct. I found the MyCycle company though Encyclopedia online and I discovered that they are the leading online Birth Control Pharmacy. Good Luck
With birth control sometimes you have to try several different pills and contraceptives until you find one that works with you. you also need to factor in how you are during your period. From my experience with birth control, i found that information important. I was prescribed Yaz because I didn't have just PMS I had PMDD (Pre-Menstrual Dysforic Disorder) which is PMS on steroids. It all depends on the person, so i say just try a few things and if you find one that works. I hope you do!
@lacigreen hi laci so glad u are teaching great info to young people out there. i also do the same, i teach in clinics. i know im like 11 months late lol but our nuvaring journey sounds very similar lol did u ever think about the "implanon" its a great implant contraceptive that protects you for 3 years. u get it inserted n2 the inner upper part of the arm. of course it afects everyone differently but many women swear by it. so look it up check it out and keep it safe:-) keep up the good work
it seems like the pill is one of the only birth controls that's highly effective AND doesn't throw you out of wack or have a lot of side effects. i wish there was a birth control as safe and effective as the pill that didn't throw you out of wack that would be nice
what does age have to with ir sex is a personal decision. and she's not making a fool of herself shes letting people know that the nuvaring has some bad sides effects and i wish i would've payed more attention to this vid because the nuvaring made me really depressed too! the bad part is it didn't set in for almost four months! so the damage it did to me was much worse than what she went through. and girl i know exactly how you feel. screw nuvaring i'd rather take the pill every day

Sweetie, what you dealt with was the side effects of the Nuvaring cause a week before my period comes on I go on an emotional rollercoaster, but its a side effect. I am glad you are feeling better although I am mad late on this vid. LOL!
I've been on the ring and I had the same side effects. I was crying all the time and getting upset about stupid little things. I gained weight and the libdo was down too, but it settled down after about 2 months. Then I moved to Romania where they don't have it and so I had to stop taking and I just found it in England again. I tried the pill and it was horrible, I was so nauseous and the patch was bad too. I hope you feel better soon!
I have just been prescribed the Nuvaring and I haven't started it just yet. I was on the pill before but like you I also hated it. Now I'm kind of nervous about it :S....we'll see what happens.
I went on the nuvaring for a hormone imbalance (I was super depressed and anxious for no reason and my periods were all outta wack) I'm on my third month of it and i have no problems with it, my mood has improved and im no snapping at my husband for stupid reasons
Ok i was totally raving about the ring a couple of weeks ago and i started having some problems: really bad migraines, nausea,fatigue,complete loss of sex drive,really sore/swollen breast, and etc.. into my third month so i took it out on monday and i feel better already, still have headaches but they are too bad and my nausea has gone away
Tell you r boyfriend to become a ninja at understanding his own rhythm. This will require him practicing on his own. Dont touch the lad. Leave him be. Then tell him to pull out when the time comes. However, when you do so and he pulls out, tell him to do it sexfully.
So i'm just starting on the nuvaring and i know this sounds weird, but i'm scared to start it i'm scared i'm not gonna be able to take it out after it goes in like i lose it lol. it it hard to put in and take out and how do you know when its in?
ok heres what will slove every thing just dont have sex and no one will have to worry about buying condoms and birth control just wait till your married gosh.
Ouch. That really sucks. Hope you get em good. If what you say is true, payout will be massive. However, what you have lost money cant pay back ever. Sigh sorry but i feel very sorry for you.
thank you for that. i seriously hope this doesn't happen to anyone else, but i know it already has. there are tons of class action lawsuits against nuvaring.
I also have noticed that I have not been talking on the phone with my close friends and relatives even when I know they call. THAT IS TOTALLY NOT ME!!!
I finally talked to my cousin and she told me how much she missed me in these couple of months and how she wanted to see me and talk to me. We talked all the time. I do think Nuva Ring i playing a major part in this.
I did not feel like this when I used the Paragaurd (IUD) or the patch.
ya, I have been kinda introverted myself, I usually get out of the house like once every week and hang out with my friends and family. Now, since using Nuva Ring, (I am a stay at home mom of 4 kids all 6 yrs old and younge) I can stay at home for even two weeks at a time without leaving the house not even to go to the store. THAT IS TOTALLY NOT ME!!!!
Better than getting pregnant. I know girls my age (15) getting pregnant :| They shouldn't even be having sex yet :\ At least this girl is being responsible.
wow, i recently came across you and i'm slowly getting to find/view all ur vids, but i noticed a big difference between your bright and sunny self, to seeing you post, where its almost like ur in pain, i was actually a lil concerned, but i'm glad your returning to your regular self...love your vids and keep them up ^^
Howhmigosh! Do your parents KNOW that you're having sex already? It must have been weird for them to find out... How'd they find out?!?!? I bet this is going to be a good story :>
NuvaRing ROCKS! Sweetie the reason your hormones are Wacky is because you are young and you shouldnt even be having sex at this age. SO dont tell people not to use the NuvaRing!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
suck......on........meh......cockkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk stupid cunnnnnnnnnnnnnttttttttttttt i dont even remember what i posted on this vid so dont fuckin reply a month after i posted it, yo wannabe internet tough guy/girl
i was on nuvaring for only 3 days the secound i had bad abdominal pain and the third day i had a horrible cramp on my left leg and spotting i did some research and found out 32 woman have died from using the nuvaring then n there i took it out just becareful girls pls there are many law suits against this product
O.o I dont think I buy birth control just for buying it.... Its like buying condoms and using them as balloons instead of actually using them for sex... lol =]
you could always use that type of birth control that also only gives you a period three times a year or if you choose four times a yr. i think its called seasonique the other one i think is called yaz... they are supposed to make b.c. and regulatory periods more comfortable for you.
I didn't mention this below, but I also wanted to point out that if you feel strange or uncomfortable with this change during the first few months, or it continually gets worse, you need to STOP the meds- just a Laci did--tho- if ur on a pill, it's often advisable to slowly ween yourself off. Everyone will experience the swing, but if it's enough of a change for a friend to point out, ask ur doctor for a change and discuss the TYPE of hormones in the meds-they will all affect YOU differently!
I'm a psych grad student, and I'm researching hormone changing drugs- including birth controls. I wanted to let people know that it's normal to have MAJOR mood changes for a while after starting any hormone regulating meds! You actually swing far to the other side of things for the first few MONTHS and THEN level out-- This will happen with ANY hormone meds you go onto. Some may not be as severe at first, but you should level out after 6 months with ALL of them.
Many doctors don't advise patients on this-Even with depression- people can be suicidal and then go on meds to for help, but they will actually get WORSE for a few months before getting better. This is scary, and it's why I believe ALL patients with any suicidal tendencies need to be monitored.
Feeling 'out of character' is very normal for the first 6 months tho-and if u go off it, there will be another swing while u level out. Then, with new meds-there's 6 more months of swing in hormones.

Also, they are the only non-vegan things I consume (they contain lactose), and I don't like that. This is making me reconsider, though. My birth control pills work great for me, so perhaps I should leave them be.

Oh I am SO glad I came across this video!! I've been on nuvaring for 2 months, and same as you, I was feeling down, depressed, and probably the MOST annoying side effect was my completely deflated libido. (Husband was even less happy about that...) So glad to hear that I'm not the only one!

@ZenaRoxLaLaLand She said that she was too paranoid to use ONLY a condom. She uses a condom, in addition to hormonal birth control to make sure that she doesn't get pregnant.

I got an IUD about 3 months ago, and it is AMZING! the first month was hell-- crampy, spotty, but no change in mood. However, after the first month passed, things got better, and i actually havent gotten my period sense (which is totally normal.... your period stops after a while, and for some people it happens sooner than others) it has been working sooo well for me, and i really recommend it. Kaiser paid for it, and so it was also free :) its called mirena-- message me if you have Qs!

@johnnyjaaav I actually have lived on my own for quite some time, work 2 jobs--1 at a law firm and 1 teaching sex ed at a high school, about to go to graduate school, and been with my partner for a year. Of course this is irrelevant in reality, sexuality is a beautiful part of life from young to old. Your oppressive attitude is shameful at best.

With birth control sometimes you have to try several different pills and contraceptives until you find one that works with you. you also need to factor in how you are during your period. From my experience with birth control, i found that information important. I was prescribed Yaz because I didn't have just PMS I had PMDD (Pre-Menstrual Dysforic Disorder) which is PMS on steroids. It all depends on the person, so i say just try a few things and if you find one that works. I hope you do!

@lacigreen hi laci so glad u are teaching great info to young people out there. i also do the same, i teach in clinics. i know im like 11 months late lol but our nuvaring journey sounds very similar lol did u ever think about the "implanon" its a great implant contraceptive that protects you for 3 years. u get it inserted n2 the inner upper part of the arm. of course it afects everyone differently but many women swear by it. so look it up check it out and keep it safe:-) keep up the good work

it seems like the pill is one of the only birth controls that's highly effective AND doesn't throw you out of wack or have a lot of side effects. i wish there was a birth control as safe and effective as the pill that didn't throw you out of wack that would be nice

I've been on the ring and I had the same side effects. I was crying all the time and getting upset about stupid little things. I gained weight and the libdo was down too, but it settled down after about 2 months. Then I moved to Romania where they don't have it and so I had to stop taking and I just found it in England again. I tried the pill and it was horrible, I was so nauseous and the patch was bad too. I hope you feel better soon!

you could always use that type of birth control that also only gives you a period three times a year or if you choose four times a yr. i think its called seasonique the other one i think is called yaz... they are supposed to make b.c. and regulatory periods more comfortable for you.

I didn't mention this below, but I also wanted to point out that if you feel strange or uncomfortable with this change during the first few months, or it continually gets worse, you need to STOP the meds- just a Laci did--tho- if ur on a pill, it's often advisable to slowly ween yourself off. Everyone will experience the swing, but if it's enough of a change for a friend to point out, ask ur doctor for a change and discuss the TYPE of hormones in the meds-they will all affect YOU differently!
snoopypumpkin1 2 years ago
Love ur videos Laci!!
I'm a psych grad student, and I'm researching hormone changing drugs- including birth controls. I wanted to let people know that it's normal to have MAJOR mood changes for a while after starting any hormone regulating meds! You actually swing far to the other side of things for the first few MONTHS and THEN level out-- This will happen with ANY hormone meds you go onto. Some may not be as severe at first, but you should level out after 6 months with ALL of them.
snoopypumpkin1 2 years ago
Many doctors don't advise patients on this-Even with depression- people can be suicidal and then go on meds to for help, but they will actually get WORSE for a few months before getting better. This is scary, and it's why I believe ALL patients with any suicidal tendencies need to be monitored.
Feeling 'out of character' is very normal for the first 6 months tho-and if u go off it, there will be another swing while u level out. Then, with new meds-there's 6 more months of swing in hormones.
