take this birth control [Nuvaring] anymore??.. Its making me EXTREMELY nauseous [the sight of food and drinks makes me nauseous as well so imagine when i eat] and ive been having massive cramps.. We had 2 pregnancy scares [been together almost two years] so he wanted me to get on birth control.. My mother had made an appointment for me to go to my gynecologist and my dr asked me if i wanted to be put on birth control and i said yes and chose Nuvaring.. Ive thought about switching to pills but i heard the nausea and cramping is worse.. Its not like im doing it on purpose.. Im just tired of feeling this way.. So how do i tell him?

I was on Nuvaring for 2 years and I never had a problem with it. But we are all different. I am now on the IUD for 5 yrs. I totally suggest that you talk to your doc about different Birth Controls. Maybe the shot?? With pills you have to make sure your good at taking them everyday on the hour.....See I'm not good at that so I just don't take the chance. But talk to your doctor.

just tell him
you can bet he would tell you if he was nauseous and cramping
go see your OB doctor, there are other pills, there are patches, there are things your doctor will suggest
the doctor can help you find a pill that will work for you or some other birth control that you are comfortable with
your boyfriend has as much or more responsibility for birth control as you do, don't let him dump it on you
AND EVEN BETTER, don't have sex with a "boyfriend". If you have sex only with a "husband", these things will be easier to work out, they will be appropiate, you will have the choices together and work it out together
sex between unmarried men and women give men all the options, all the advantages, all the pleasures, none of the responsibility
if you aren't ready to re-think your sex life entirely, at the very least make the boyfriend take part in the hard decisions like appropriate birth control
if you are scared to tell him about the nausea, then you do not have a relationship that is fair to you
stop being taken advantage of
just tell him that these pills aren't working and that you will consider looking into something else (make sure he pays for whatever you do) STOP being taken advantage of
go back to the doctor, their are many options

umm be honest. You should tell him the problems you are having and that you are not happy with this method of birth control, he should be very understanding. You also might want to talk to your Dr. again and see if something will work better for you. They have some very low dose pills now adays that really help reduce cramping and low hormones can reduce nausea. Not every method is good for every person. You might have to try a couple methods like pills, or patches or use condoms until you find the right thing that works for you.

I was on nuvaring also for four months, and it was horrible for me also. You just have to try other types of birth control and find out what works for you. As for you boyfriend explain to him that you have to go off of it. If he cares about you he will understand. Also tell you doctor about the problems you are having. they could also be a sign of pregnancy, or something else that is wrong.

At least he is a smart man...he does not want any babies.
You just tell him and be sure that if you both do have sex either he uses a condom or both of you abstain from sex.
I usually take my pills at night so all those side effects do not kick in.
But you need to find some birth control to prevent a baby that is the smartest thing to do...better be glad your boyfriend is not only looking out for himself but for you too.
One thing I can say...having the side effects of birth control is better than having a baby you do not want or need.

There are foams and jellies that you can use. You can find these in the ilse with condoms at any drug store, wal-mart, target, k-mart, etc. These have no hormonal side effects and you only use them when you have sex. Just tell your boyfriend that you are going to switch to a new form of birth control that will be better for your body. This is your body, if he doesn't like that Idea, just tell him he can wear condoms then.

If you two are not ready for a baby, then I'd say you do want to stay on some kind of BC.
You should talk to your doctor about the side effects, and have him suggest some alternative. Lots of young women like the shots they give every 3 months.

Abstinence will work better. Some people can't handle any kind of medication. You could be one of those people. Sorry. I hope you and your boyfriend can reach an understanding. Hope you focus on school studies more than sex too. Trust me, it's better to be a college graduate by age 22 than by a later age with babies to take to daycare.

Call your doctors office and report what is going on. You have taken care of birth control and now your boyfriend can take his turn. If he gets mad drop him. Telling him is easy bring up this question on your computer and have him read it.

There are hundreds of different contraceptives on the market. If you Dr. knew your symptoms he would gladly switch your meds.
