For Birth Control: I have been on the generic form of NuvaRing now for 8 months and I have hated every month of it-the week before my period I am a RAGING hormonal mess (and it’s not due to the current pandemic)-I felt this way when I tried out Yaz many many years ago. I would become very easily upset/angry with friends and family. I was switched to the Nuvaring after ruptured ovarian cysts along with the behavioral changes and I’ve had NO issues in 16 years and then lo and behold On this generic NuvaRing I developed ruptured ovarian cysts in the last 8 months; I have had very bad PMS, breast tenderness and cramping. I went to my ob/gyn and we are going to do whatever it takes to get NuvaRing via insurance. I cannot take this generic for another month. |

For Birth Control: The first 6 months with it I had constant cramping it was horrible don’t let them sugar coat it the pain will have you hunched over crying and unable to move, it eventually gets better. I know everybody’s different but I’ve gained 60 lbs since I’ve had It inserted I’m going on year 2 with it and I haven’t had a period since I got it. It does cause discomfort during intercourse **tmi** You’ll most likely have to find a certain position that doesn’t hurt you and stick with it every time. Overall it’s a good birth control, just like every other one they’re side effects to having it. For Birth Control: I have used the Mirena at least 3 different times. I would choose the Mirena each time with change out every 2 years. My last Mirena was a little over 5 years. The past 3 years I started to experience vertigo, ear and vision issues. At first it would happen only few times a year. Now, I'd say over this past year my symptoms have gotten worst. I seem to be affected daily. I now see an ENT and Neuro specialist. My symptoms have escalated to severe "complicated migraines", vertigo, nausea, vomiting, pressure feeling behind my eyes, ear pressure, ringing, high anxiety levels that I never had before, rise in blood pressure. Like I stated, it is uncertain if the Mirena plays a role in my symptoms. However, given the severity of my symptoms and the use of the Mirena as my birth control method, removal of the Mirena was advised. |

For Birth Control: Like everyone else I was on NuvaRing for 4+ years and absolutely loved it - I never experienced any side effects. I went into the pharmacy and they handed me Eluryng without any warning that they were switching me in advance. Two months into Eluryng and I have pretty bad acne considering I'm 25 and never had pimples even in my teens. I'm absolutely devastated and hoping Kaiser will switch me back.... it's either that or I'm going to attempt the pill (which sucks).
