My friend just got pregnant on the Nuvaring.

I was on ortho tri-cyclin, but it still gave me cramps and I still had those cramps at the two week mark like I had when I was ovulating. It freaked me out. Now I'm on Yaz and I like it so far. I have almost no cramps (I use to throw up from the pain) and I just feel better all over.

I'm not currently in a committed relationship, so I'm not taking Nuvaring for birth control. I take it so I can leave my house and have a normal life. I was planing to go off of it this year to have kids, but that is not going to happen. I kind of don't know what I'll do when I plan to get pregnant because I will likely have some miserable months.
