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: I wanna start by saying people usually only write these reviews if they are unhappy. Your body could react differently you just never know until you try it. I used Nexplanon for about 3 months. Almost immediately I would get these waves of nauseousness and I would feel like I needed to throw up, and diarrhea at the same time. My entire body would severely sweat and my heart would beat like crazy. Later, I found out it was actually just a panic attack. Anyway, these nausea waves lasted a good 2 weeks, and then completely stopped. And everything was great. No period. No nausea, no depression. Absolutely nothing and I was very happy. Then.. just about 2 weeks ago my anxiety has become so bad that I literally can not leave my house. The nausea is back, I have crying spells and I seriously just feel HORRIBLE mentally. Prior to this, I do have a long history with mental illness, but never like this. I’m removing it tomorrow for my own health. For Birth Control: I got my first nexplanon in 2016 and had it in for a little over three years. First couple years were great, my period stopped. Towards the end of the 3 year mark I started getting more migraines, had two burst ovarian cysts and was irregularly bleeding. I thought it was just because the hormone level had gone down so I got a new nexplanon reinserted. 2 months into the new one and I lost all sex drive. Read forums like crazy and was astonished to see people feeling the exact same way. Didn’t even want to be touched. Looking back, I did have increased anxiety and hadn’t felt like myself for awhile. Times when I should’ve been happy but wasn’t. If you feel like you aren’t quite feeling yourself, don’t discount it!! Great for preventing pregnancy and worked for me for awhile but everyone’s body is different. Waiting to see how I feel without it before potentially getting a copper iud. |

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).
