For Birth Control: I had been on the vaginal nuva ring for the past 6 years and absolutely loved it! It was the only form of birth control that did not cause depression or other horrible side effects. Unknowingly my insurance switched me onto the generic version of the Nuva Ring in November and I have had a horrible experience. I don't get my period when the ring is out of my body and when the ring is inserted I experience extremely painful abdominal pain and cramps that I never had before. It took me a few months to realize that the change from name brand to generic was what caused this. I decided to take it out and am no longer on birth control. |

For Birth Control: I had my Kyleena inserted in June 2019 (previously on oral birth control) and it did NOT feel good. The insertion was quite painful, definitely worse than any period cramps I've ever had, but I only had cramps for the rest of the afternoon and evening that day and have felt nothing since! My periods stopped completely (so far) and I'm not pregnant, so those are perks! My acne has flared terribly, though. I'm 28 and experiencing hormonal acne around my jaw area that I can't get rid of. I'm also pretty sure that I am having a hard time losing weight because of the IUD. I have been working out at least 5 days a week (training for a half-marathon) and eating very clean/healthy for two months consistently and have not managed to lose any weight. I'm now down a wormhole reading these forums and debating getting it removed! For Birth Control: Got kyleena inserted end of October 2019, the insertion wasn't too bad some cramping but nothing major. I bled for a month straight after. I'm now coming up on my 3rd month, have some occasional spotting and I get my period every month lasting about a week. So far I've only had some cramping, bloating, and nausea when it is coming to that time of the month. But that's normal for me. I did have hormonal acne before the IUD, it hasn't made it any worse. I do suggest thou for anybody who is breaking out on the IUD or have hormonal acne in general I have been taking some supplements that have cleared my skin 90% 1) Alani Nu Balance 2) Zinc 3) B5 4) Probiotic 5) Ashwandgha (helps w/ stress & depression) 6) Iron (if you have anemia or heavy periods) hope this helps |
