I am taking birth control pills. Started taking them a week ago. When I take them my pouch just doesn't agree and I feel sick all day. Can't eat or drink at all without getting close to throwing up. What other options do you ladies recommend for birth control besides the pill.

I waited a month....just to be on the safe side.

Ok, good deal. I was also wondering how long it takes before it's effective? Usually with my pills, my doc always said 1 week, is it the same? Sorry, I'm kind of uneducated about the Nuvaring. I didn't have an appt with my dr, they just called it in for me so I didn't really have the chance to ask questions! I appreciate your help!

If you start it on Day 1 of your period it is effective immediately. Otherwise it takes a week.

Thank you!!

Welcome!

I've tried every birth control known to man! Lol My nuvaring that I got post op was life changing! I just LOVE it!

About the NuvaRing.....isn't it awkward to insert? And do you feel anything? Can it slip out or be felt during sex by either person? I'm starting Depo at the end of this month but want to be prepared with a back up plan in case I don't like it.

I had tried nuvaring forever ago and seemed to have a tough time getting it in. This time around, I slipped it right in and haven't had a problem since. If you're worried about it popping out during sex, I read that some people take them out during foreplay and put them back in after all is done. You are still protected as long as its inserted again within 3 hours of removal.
