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). |

For Birth Control: I've used Xulane for the last 3 years and it's been effective for me as a birth control but I get my normal period on my week off and also usually another week of the month I'm spotting, which is irritating. I've experience breast tenderness and I've had 3 patches fall off completely since I've had it and a few others that I got to re-stick, which was stressful! I'm getting the implant this week to see how it goes, especially since it's longer lasting, but if it doesn't work out I plan to use Xulane again since I really hate pills! For Birth Control: PROS: 1) patch method 2) can skip periods 3) can get in multiples (3 month supplies) 4) helps acne 5) helps level hormones 6) fully covered by insurance CONS: 1) major fatigue 2) increased cervical mucus 3) migraines 4) sore muscles 5) groggy body and head |

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.
