Why I went home and ripped my Nuva out
Oh Nuvaring. I really thought you'd be so great....
I was only on Nuvaring for 2 weeks. I switched from the pill because I felt it was making me moody and I'm a long time sufferer of migraines. Days 2 and 3 on Nuva was a non stop migraine with nausea. I spotted the entire first week and a half, constant brown discharge, but I tossed it up to my body transitioning. In the 2 weeks I was on it I think I cried every other day and I was a nasty bitch. Still, I figured I'd get over it. The yesterday at work I had a huge headache come on so fast, was so nauseous I was practically dry heaving on my client, and THEN!!!! My hearing went. Yes I could not hear. It felt like everything was being heard from 30 ft under water. I was so scared I thought I'd pass out. I ran home that night, ripped out my nuvaring and threw it in the trash. I then struggled to keep some oatmeal down and took a 2 hour nap. Today, I feel great. Just waiting for my withdraw bleeding. Needless to say I'm done with hormones and will be going back to condoms. I know everyone is different but please do your research. Last night I found an entire board dedicated to people who got pregnant on nuvaring with perfect use. And I haven't eliminated that probability for myself yet...
