Katybug Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I did the nuvaring and just skipped the week you leave it out so I wouldn't get a period. I usually started to cramp and spot in week 3. My gyn had wanted me to try the nuvaring since I had been on depo provera for so long and that has osteoporosis implications. My symptoms on nuvaring would also start to spike in week 3. Eventually, we transitioned back to depo provera as it was just becoming worse and worse for me. Apparently my body doesn't like estrogen.....I can't take the pill either (I've tried many, many brands). I'm much better on depo as I don't get the hormone fluctuations and as I said the estrogen.

Bigskyfam Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Interesting. Thx katybug. Trial and error is still the name of the game I guess. I have had my tubes tied.. So this was to treat menorrhagia. Ocp made my nauseated. My pots sx flare before and during my cycle and ovulation. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katybug Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Yes...that's why I was always on these treatments. I used to wake up as a teen in the middle of the night in so much pain I would vomit. But with the dydysautonomia, my hormones definitely affected how I felt and the depo seems to be what my body is happy with. I hope they can straighten this out for you. It really stinks to have this on top of pots. It's like half your month is screwed up guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigskyfam Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Scared to try the depo. 3 months in my system. Keep you posted on my chat with the doc. I wonder will menopause be better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
