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?

Hi - gosh, it just gets better and better, hey? I'm feeling pretty relieved I turned down the nuvaring at this point. Mind if I ask exactly which pill you are going back on? The Ortho Tri Lo made me feel ill... I'd rather none but I'm curious since we seem to have some parallels, what you've found to be least offensive with the side effects.

I have left out a few details like I am androgynous/gender fluid and while I have hips my chest is flat as a board and I don't do well with my "feelings" and other stereotypically female traits and it's been theorized that THAT is why I can't handle bc, it pumps estrogen in me?
Anyhow, I'm taking norethindrone. That's all it's called that's all that's in it, I do believe it goes by two other names but i can't remember what, it's considered like 1 or 2% less effective as a contraceptive but as I said before I take it to keep me self in check. It's best known for its lack of side effects.

Ah, okay, there are some other reasons the hormones don't sit well with you... (fwiw google says the brand name of that is "Aygestin", but I haven't heard of it before). I'll have to maybe ask about the progestin only pills, but all of them will still probably upset my stomach because I'm so sensitive to the lactose.

Ugh, so complicated! ;) Hope you can work something out until the vasectomy is confirmed!
