XOXO

I just started NuvaRing since my gyno suggested I don't go on the patch. I have never been on any type of BC so at first I had some mood swings but I seem steady now in the 2nd week.

There are many other brands of BCP. I needed to try 4 different types until I found one that I didnt spot with.

Ortho Tri Cyclen

i use this, love it.

BUT it is expensive- my insurance copay for this med. is $40 for a 1 month supply.

Shorty and MrsP:
Is the ring really as comfortable as the website claims it is?

I use Ortho TriCyclen. My insurance doesn't cover it, so it's $40 a month!
The pharmacist gave me the generic brand for $10, which made me spot all the time!

I went back to Ortho TriCyclen and now I am all better. $40 is a small price to pay, if you don't want to bleed everyday, and you don't want children.

I had the same problem, and pay for the OrthoTriCyclen. Mine would actually be something ridiculous like $150 a month if insurance didn't cover it at all, so $40, little over a dollar a day, is a small price to pay IMO.

My FSIL uses the ring...she says she likes it a lot and will never go back to the pill.

Seems like I am the only one who uses condoms!!!!


Not on my wedding night though... Can't wait!!!!

Late reply!

I had my first month free with that offer on the website. I am hoping that it's only $25 a month from now on with my Empire insurance. $40 is wayyyy too much.

sorry, another late reply!!

I don't feel it at all, it's really great that I don't have to think about it and yet can remove it at any time.

Was it Sprintec? (spell?)

To tell you the truth, I have no clue!
It was in a yellow casing (like that's going to help)

Make an appt. with your doctor. Tell him/her that you are spotting, they will recommend another type of BCP...I had the same problem...I just went this past Friday and I am on my 3rd BCP. I hope this one works for me!
