» Linlou172 - Side effects

Im having trouble figuring this whole site thing out and seeing what's current and who's responded to whose questions so I'll just ask my own. pardon if they're repeats.
I'm having all the same problems with the ring, I've tried Ortho tri-Lo and it made me so sick to my stomach I couldnt function. I get the dryness, discharge, pain during intercourse, but most of all, my drive is SEVERELY decreased. Basically, it seems as if these are common, anyone know is this THAT common, is it really acceptable, is the patch any better, or what can I do to help ANY OR ALL of these symptoms?????

In response to Side effects posted by Linlou172:

I am on the ring now and was on the patch for about a year. I have not had any symptoms with the patch or the ring, but had nausea, etc with the pill (I tried many different kinds).

I liked the ease of using the patch, but the only drawback was that it was always visible at the beach and it left that annoying 'sticky' spot on my body after removal.

I don't really like the ring either. For instance, it fell out or something a couple days ago during intercourse. I don't know if it is b/c of the size of my partner's member or what, but we didn't notice until we found it in the bed the next day during foreplay! How embarassing/OMG almost pregnancy scare! What should I do about that?

Some good things to note:
I haven't had any problem with drive so far. In fact, I feel more free to express it since I don't have to worry about getting pregnant.
Plus, I don't think i have been gaining any weight (yet). Maybe that can be attributed to the extra exercise I am getting from increased sexual activity? hehehe
