"the first time i was on nuva for about 8 months and got pregnant. imy thinking the cause could have been another medication i was on while using nuva. after that pregnancy i had started using nuva again with no there medications, was using it sept 2015 to march 2016. i started getting bad leg cramps, migraines, shortness of breath, dizziness, bad abdominal pain, and some days couldn&#039;t get out of bed to take care of my 3 kids i was in so much pain. i stopped using it and have a drs appt to check for a blood clot and anything else that could be going on. alot of my pain and migraines have decreased since being off it just 5 days. still experiencing some pain in my knees, and some abdominal pain, but for the most part way better thandle i was."
