LADIES I NEED ADVICE!

yaz is the friggen devil.

i've been on the nuvaring for almost 2 years and its like a tiny nugget of heaven in my life. my periods have gotten shorter and lighter, they run like clockwork, i've not only had no weight gain but i've lost the weight i gained while on yaz and then some, i have no mood issues other than the occasional per-period sad day that i feel falls under normal pms symptoms. my skin is great, i don't get wonky if i miss one because there's nothing to miss. you really don't feel it and my partner hasn't complained about feeling it either. i'd ask your doc to try it for 6 months. because its such a low, constant dose of hormones i think a lot of ladies react better to it. good luck!

I love nuvaring and would never think of using anything else.

Its a hormone so yes it does ulter your body chemistry. Depo made me like a lunatic, so I didnt get my second shot. I stayed on regular bc pills after that until my tubal ligation in 2006 after my son was born.
Abstinence, IUD or a condom are the only way you wont need to take something that will simulate hormones.

I am on this too and love it. When i started birth control i was put on it. I switched to the pill for financial reasons and gosh was that a HUGE mistake, acne, moody, irritable, depressed, you name it i had it. Plus a 10lb weight gain. Switched back to Nuva dropped the 10lbs plus 5 more. I'll pay the extra, no doubt about it!

I was on cerazette (low hormone pill) for ages because it drove me kookoo, I am now on the implant and its amazing, as long as you aren't scared of needles! but it goes in, no side affects and you can forget about it for 3 years! You can also have it out whenever you like with no side effects. I think its great. But everyting works differently for different people like has been said.
I hope you find something that works for you, I know how bad it can be being on something that has so many bad sideeffects.
All the best with it!

Hi
I got the implant fitted coz the pill made me crazy and the depo injection increases your weight by upto 12 kilos!!!!! It has been fab, not had any issues! And it aids weightloss, as it doesn't make you hungry, like other types of birth control
