Hii! Ok post #2...first one got deleted ugh!
I have headaches. Bad ones. But I always have. But now they're super bad. I think its the computer/tv (I'm up for new glasses) ...or my neck (I need to go to the chiro cuz its all tweaked)
...My doc thinks its the pill (I've been on ortho tricyclen for 3 mos. now) so she wants me off if the headaches aren't gone in a month. She freaked me out with stories of strokes and blood clots. She wants me on nuvaring...
I wanna stay on the pill because its easy (I have a routine down), I have regular periods for once in my life, and its not touching my body (yes, that sounds weird but I have the most sensitive skin in the world) INCLUDING my cervix which has been getting cysts on it lately (scary) ...especially when talking about stickin a nuva ring right up against it.
If I had regular periods (without the pill) I'd even try natural planning. I hate any type of drugs even aspirin, and I don't even like the idea of the pill and its fakey hormones. ALSO, I have chest pain (started way before the pill) and my mom had a stroke when she was 19 (may or may not be associated with BC) those things plus the headaches DO NOT make me a candidate for the pill. . .
I want whats best for my body but I really hate change and I am just super duper glad that I didn't react negatively to the pill!!!!
Please help - any info on nuva ring, headhaches, chest pain, hormones, and other forms of BC that YOU like would be awesome! Thanks ...
