Why are We Paying You if I Can't Even get What I Need.

Nuvaring Update.

Well Sunday I went to get a new nuvaring while we were out doing our grocery shopping. My name was called over the loud speaker to come back to the pharmacy. There I was told that my insurance wouldn't cover the cost of my nuvaring.
From there I call my insurance were they tell me some bull crap about paying it out of pocket and then "maybe" getting reimbursed.
We pay just about $100 a month for BlueCrossBlueShield. But it seems they won't pay for something I need. Yes they pay for the pill, but when I was on the pill my moods were so messed up. My sex drive was gone. When I started nuvaring I felt so much better. I felt like myself again. But it seems that's all down the f-ing drain. Being Sunday and the day I needed to start taking my birth control again ( I'm super freaked about getting pregnant again.). I just so happened to still have one refill on the pill left, something told me not to throw the pill packet away. So thats what I'm on again now.
Really I don't get how we can pay for something and not be able to get what I need. And paying out of pocket is not a option. We barely make it as it is. We don't get any help from the government or anyone. My poor husband goes to work at 4:30 in the morning and works until 5pm. I'm lucky to have him and that he gives the the chance to be a stay at home mom. I try to do my part. I clip coupons and shop sales and make a lot of things myself.
But I just don't understand how we can pay out $100 a month to these people and then they won't cover anything I need.
So now I'm back to fighting to feel normal.

Nuvaring Update and Review

So I started using Nuvaring last month. I was super excited to not have to remember to take the pill everyday. Things have got good with Nuvaring. I really like it. I found it just how easy it is to use. It's easy for me to put in and remove. The only down side I see right now it that I have to take it out during sex. It's painful when my husband goes in too deep, so I knew if he pushed the ring in any farther it would hurt. So I never chanced the pain. I just take it out before sex and put in back in right after. I have had no problems at all so far.
The thing that did scare me a little was that I started my period late. Well not really late their site said I would start 2 to 3 days after taking the ring out. ( with the ring you leave it in for three weeks and out one week. ) I took the ring out Sunday night and I started my period Wednesday night. So I have no idea how long my period will be for this time around. This is my 1st period on the ring. I was so glad when I started my period. I was really starting to freak. If I was pregnant I was going to sue someone LOL. But after a few days of freaking out, I got my period and now everything is fine.
I'm thinking that maybe I will try the method to stop my period all together with Nuvaring. They say you can leave the ring in for 3 weeks and after that take it out and insert a new ring right after and it will cause you to not have a period. There maybe some spotting until my body works itself out. But the thing with that is, if I don't get my period I start to think I'm pregnant. I would be in the bathroom taking a few test every month. I don't know if I'm ready for that stress.
But for right now, thing are fine. I love this ring.

From The Pill to The Ring

From the time I was 18 I have been on and off The Pill. At 18 it was okay. I didn't seem to have any problem with it. I went off The Pill when I met me now husband. I had our daughter and 6 months after she was born I went back on The Pill. I started off trying Seasonique. You know the pill that only gives you four periods a year. Haha my ass! I bleed the just about whole three months I was taking it, not cool at all! So I went back on the regular ol' pill.
I was doing okay until the side affects kicked in. I for mood swings from hell. I was have been like the crazy mood swing lady. It was getting so bad that I was snapping at everyone and I couldn't control it. I would feel so bad after I would just set and cry. Then I lost all of my sex drive. I mean all of it. It was to the point where it was affecting my marriage. My poor hubby has been through a lot with me and this was coming to the breaking point for him.
So yesterday I went to the doctor and told her something had to change. I have been doing my research and I found that NuvaRing was low hormone and lower side affects.

I haven't tried it yet. I have a week of The Pill to finish. Then I'm diving head first into the NuvaRing. I have heard good and bad about it, so I'm trying it for myself.
Has anyone used it or know anyone who has used it? Comments are definitely welcome!
