I am on the nuvaring birth control (i do 4 weeks with nuvaring in (28 day) - 1 week out (7day)). the nuvaring was still in and we had an accident where the condom broke on Nov 11 night. I didn't think much of it... I am due for my period - so I took the nuvaring out on Nov 13 (as I was supposed to as it had been 4 weeks). Then on Nov 15, my nipples started feeling tingly... So I started getting worried. I took a plan b on No 15 (approx 90 hours after incident).... So - given the fact that a. i had birth control in (nuvaring) b. it was days before my period was supposed to start (and 26 days in my 28 day cycle with nuvaring IN) c. i have taken plan b just in case... So, while my period was supposed to start today - I know it won't since I took plan b yesterday. I assume my chance...

I took a plan b one step, then started what I thought was my period a week later (one week early, which I figured was normal). On day 2 of bleeding, I inserted a nuvaring. I had used nuvaring a couple of months prior, but had skipped a month, then inserted a new one. Well, it is now 13 days of straight bleeding. Sometimes light, sometimes heavier period bleeding. I am more annoyed than alarmed. I live in a rural area and have to drive an hour to see a DrDr. I figure it will stop eventually, but I am getting impatient and wondering if I should take the nuvaring outout and use condoms or if this will just prolong it. Anyone had a similar reaction to Plan B +nuvaring? If so, how long did it last?! I would love to be intimate with my man but we're a bit new for *that* kind of intimacy. ...

I took 300mg of generic wellbutrin for about two years and lost about 10 lbs in the process. Over a few months of tapering off it (and going on the nuvaring) I've gained about 25 lbs. Now I've been off of it for 3 weeks and the depression has come back. I plan on going back on it once it's been a full month off and I want to know if I can expect the same kind of weight loss the second time around or if my body is already used to it? ## Hello, Jill! How are you doing? It's kind of hard to say. If the weight gain is solely related to the Nuvaring, then no, you may not lose it on the Wellbutrin. Learn more Wellbutrin details here. The best thing to do would be to consult your doctor and get their input on the situation. It is possible that the weight gain is just related to...

I have been on many birth controls and had issues such as mood swings, anxiety, no libido, and i was very angry all the time with just about all that i have tried. I was curious if people who have had similar problems with other pills had a good or bad experience with lo loestrin. I am currently on the NuvaRing and i love it but my insurance does not cover it so it is too expensive so i am looking for other options. ## Hello, Claire! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems that you've had. Those types of issues can occur when taking OCs, since they add hormones to your body to prevent ovulation. But many women do better with the low dose ones, so that might apply to you, as well. However, you could still experience nausea, headache, irritability and PMS like symptoms. Can anyo...

i just started taking depo shot along with sulfamethoxazole and now i cant tell which one is giving me hypersensitivity to light,the slightest hint of sun makes me.break out in instant hives...i was told to decide which one to go off of to find out the cause..:( ive already broken out with skin rashes on the loestrin pill and infections with nuvaring.i always get uti so i hope its the bc over my sulfamethoxazole. ## If it were me, I would look at the antibiotic as being the most likely culprit. This one is very well known to cause a lot of problematic side effects in many people that take it. Learn more Bactrim details here. And they are also known to usually get worse, with continued treatment, so most people end up having to stop the medication. Are you taking it for a UTI?

Is Sprintec 28 a gluten free birth control pill ## Hi Theresa, The answer to your question is yes.
