NuvaRing - Deciding To Give It A Try
Who here has been on the NuvaRing?
After discussing my options with my doctor last week, I decided to give it a try. So far so good. I had some cramping in the first few days, but that's completely gone now and I haven't noticed any other side effects.
Part of why I chose NuvaRing is I don't have to think about it very much. Also, my doctor doesn't like the implant, and would rather save an IUD for last if I don't find something else I like. She did mention Depo, but I didn't want that because of what I've heard about bone density loss and weight gain, neither of which I want. Another reason is my doctor said she has lots of patients with success skipping their periods on the ring, and that's something that's important to me. If I could, I'd stop my period until I was ready to get pregnant.

View 4 RepliesI Don't Want To Give Up Cannabis - Love Being Stoned
I am a reasonably successful business woman with a good life, a nice house and an amazing boyfriend. I had a good upbringing and have never suffered a traumatic event. However, for the past decade, I have smoked pot everyday. I'm now 26 and I have to give up- not because I want to, but because I got caught and am now on probation and subjected to regular drug testing. The problem lies therein: I DON'T WANT TO QUIT! I have no children and my life is not negatively impeded by the use of this drug, recent legal problems notwithstanding. It eases my anxiety and insomnia and I really just love being stoned. So how am I supposed to successfully give up when I really don't want to? And please don't say God- I am an atheist. Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

View 2 RepliesWhere To Give Nerve Block For Ankle Surgery?
I recently had surgery on my ankle for a fractured fibula and torn ligament. Prior to surgery, my surgeon told me that he would have another doctor (pain doctor) administer a nerve block once I was under general anesthesia. The pain doctor met with me prior to the operation and advised that the nerve block would last anywhere from 15-24 hours. Unfortunately, the nerve block did not work correctly at all and I was in immense pain for a few hours post-op until I was given strong pain meds. I questioned my surgeon (because the pain doctor left after administering the nerve block) who said the nerve block must have worn off by the time the surgery ended (a couple hours tops), but from what I've researched it's not possible. Plus, I began to notice that the middle of my thigh was completely numb in the middle of the night. This numbness lasted approximately 24 hours.
My question is: Where should the pain doctor have administered the nerve block. I woke up with a bandaid in the area of my groin and was told this is where the nerve block was given (under ultrasound). However, I've read that for an ankle procedure, the block should have been given just above the knee to be effective. Does anyone have any knowledge on this subject?
PCOS :: How Long For Primolut To Work And Give Me My Period?
Recently, I have gone to the doctor because I have been having irregular periods for the last few months. I haven’t gotten my period since October 23, 2013. I have seen spotting (brown) 2 times this month (February) but I did not receive my period. I am not sexually active in any way. I went to the doctor and she said I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). She gave me Primolut 5 mg Norethisterone to take 2 times a day to give me my period. I have been taking the pills for 4 days. I was wondering how long it is expected for primolut to work and give me my period? I have been exercising and eating healthy.

I am on 150mcg Thyroxine and have a fasting blood test on Friday. I take thyroxine at night as it makes me feel better the next day - like my thyroid is already working/functioning as it should be. Lots of speculation about whether to take meds before a test - fasting or not and if it could give a false reading. Wish doctors could be consistent with their thyroid diagnosis, and have not published their findings on whether or not to take meds before a blood test.

View 1 RepliesNuvaring Fell Out During Sex - Should I Put It Back After 3 Hours?
Recently My nuvaring was taken out for sex, and yes I know you don't have to, but I do because of the painful friction when its not inserted deep enough. I realized the next morning that it was out still (more than three hours), and put it back in like the pamphlet says.. Only I didn't realize that I was in my third week, which comes with different instructions. Not knowing what to do, I left it in and took it out on my normally scheduled day. Now I have my period and my question is should I put a new ring in now, on the first day of My period, or on the day I would have taken it out had the cycle not been interrupted, or should I put it in a week from day that that I took it out the first time? I took it out Thursday put it back in Friday morning and took it out Sunday. Now today my period started. What do I do? How long should I use extra protection for?

View 1 RepliesVaginal Health :: Nuvaring And Miscarriage?
I have been on nuvaring for 6 months. Last month I decided to leave it in for four weeks and change the ring after the 4th week. That same week my husband and I had sex. I assumed the nuvaring protected us from conception. Well 3 weeks later I started spotting, brown which I figured was normal but then it became bright red. Thursday morning I woke up with massively painful cramps. It was very difficult for me to function and I took misplace for the last 3 days to cope with the cramps. The cramping subsided Friday morning, but bleeding was heavier. I removed the ring Thursday thinking it was causing the issue and began using tampons. When I removed my tampon yesterday it was soaked and there was tissue around the base. A large piece of pinkish red tissue. Is this just endometrial cells or could I have been pregnant and miscarried?
