I was thinking bout that or pills I guess hopefully they work lol

You would just have to decide what's better for you. I'm terrible with remembering to take my pills so the nuva ring was cool. I wore it for three weeks and then removed it one week and then started over.

Lol the nuva ring is a plastic ring that you insert in your vajayjay for three weeks and then you take it out after the third week. You dispose of it. During the week that it is out.......your period should come. Then after that 4th week is over you put a fresh ring back in. They are very handy and Planned Parenthood will alow you to get three at a time....and you have to store the extras in the fridge.

I was on the nuva ring so long my period stopped coming all together until I stopped using the ring it came back after a month or so.

Thanks the depo some of my friend gained a lot of weight ok im thinking nuvaring or depo but I dnt know about me putting &taking it out I go on the 12th of june im gettn one of them lol

I must agree. I'm so confused about what to do after surgery. I have been on the pill for a year now and loved it, but don't want to chance getting prego post op. I tried the Nuva ring in the past, but my girlie parts lay on their back so it wouldn't stay in. So then I tried depo. My goodness did I get horrible acne and mood swings. Next came the Mirena. I was miserable for months and we couldn't figure out why. Finally after my FOURTH ER visit. A nurse practitioner pointed out that I was actually having contractions and my cervix was dilating and trying to push the Mirena out because of how tilted my uterus is. Every hospital I went to refused to take it out because of "liability" reasons. It was a terrible experience. My fiancé ended up pulling it out one day when I couldn't stand up from how bad the contractions were. So now I'm stuck. my next step is to try the Implanon and pray I don't have some kind of freakish reaction to it! Lol

I'm on the pill as I have been for years because of my PCOS. If I'm off it I will bleed for weeks to months at one time and its a lot of blood. I would get light headed from it.

I'm not worried about it beyond the controlling of my period as I have been single for a while. I haven't had sex in a little over a year and not looking for a man now either. Just focusing on myself and getting to where I want to be in my life. Once that's sorted I might try dating again.
