Do not get scared. I have a very CRAZY and ANNOYING body that doesn't
react well to any endo treatments. You are probably completely fine. If
you are experiencing relief from the ring then it is probably great for
you. I actually loved using it because it's a "place it in and forget
it" treatment. It just didn't work for my body chemistry. Your doctor
will check your blood pressure when you go to the office next week. If
he/she doesn't just ask them to. Or, check it a a Wal Mart or a grocery
store. 120/80 is a normal standard. The company that makes the Nuva
Ring states that I'm in a minority of patient's to experience this, so
do not fear. This may be the correct and best treatment for you!!:) I
have not had high blood pressure to the same extent with any other
combination treatments, so my doctor and I were thinking it was from the
route..vaginal versus oral contraceptive.
