.... has anyone had theirs out?

I've only had it for 6 months, but I'm having pains associated with it, so I'm getting it out, and it's not helping my periods at all, either.

I was thinking of getting on the Nuvaring or the Patch... has anyone been on those or know anything about them?

I've used the patch for about 2 years and I liked it. There is info about both in the Helpful Websites sticky.

I just got mine out. I had it in for 4 months. It caused me lots of pain. I had cramping, head aches and back aches. I got it out almost 2 weeks ago, and I already feel so much better.


I have tried the patch. I loved it. I used it for a year with no problems. It is my favorite form of BC and I have been on alot of BC. BUT I will never get on it again. I have heard alot of bad stuff about the patch. I am going to do Natural Family Planning.

good luck on what ever you decide

I haven't had the IUD just for the fact of all the storys i've heard. I've been on both the patch and the ring..I loved both..If i had to choose either or i'd go back on the ring with all the risks lately with the patch GL!

The ring was my favorite form of hormonal bc, and I have been on a lot. Although, I still got headaches and was very emotional on the ring, so I went with the paragard IUD. But if you do okay with hormones, I'd recommend the ring.
