I'm sure you guys are completely sick of me, I'm sorry.
But the Nuvaring made me panic, lethargic, and deeply depressenow or to mention I had to remove it for sex and it caused sex to be extremely painful. SUPRISE! It IS the same hormone mix that always does that to me.
I took it out about 6pm last night, it is now 10am. Am I safe to switch back to norethindrone only pills? (my finances vasectomy went beautifully yesterday btw) it's Saturday, I tried calling an urgent care center to ask and they said they don't deal with bc and hung up, the health departments closed and so is everywhere else.... So does anyone know if this is safe?

According to this pdf on switching contraceptives (http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:645y4HNzhMQJ:www.reproductiveaccess.org/fact_sheets/downloads/switching_bc.pdf+switching+birth+control&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESi50Ga-KM0o3VpmimCAeSZz0fp_0QX0Q-5YOOlCuKx7-91_-Go_qlzyYI5wMOUiCDCyl5HabJGVDJFFk9YiLOgd36fCG-tfLl7Iwv-63y4pyhNzWS7vb9mSSn2WNEno9-Dqn3vI&sig=AHIEtbR5w9RK8QmnrbBZM-xsyXOE2_4bMw), you're supposed to start taking the pill the day before you switch, in order to have no break in coverage. (It looks like that pdf is from ReproductiveAccess.org (http://www.reproductiveaccess.org/fact_sheets/switching_bc.htm).) Ortho-Tri-Cyclen's page (http://www.thepill.com/thepill/aboutortho-switching.html#vaginal) recommends you switch on your ring-free week.

I'm glad your fiancee's vasectomy went well. That's at least one bit of good news. Keep in mind that the vasectomy shouldn't be considered effective until after he's had the follow-up and been cleared! Though, that's probably why you're on the norethindrone, I guess. Good luck!

Oh he's in too much discomfort for sex lol. The hormones are to control my hormones lol.
I took the ring out at 6pm last night and took the pill at 10am this morning and so far I'm not dead soooooo lol.
We understand he has to send in samples for up to 3 monthes to make sure he's sperm free.
