I used Nuva Ring about a year ago and decided to stop using it due to major mood swings, (Going from laughing to crying in a split second) but I recently decided to try it again, as I liked the conveinence of it and the fact that it's the only birth control I've used that hasn't made me gain weight. Well, I've had the ring in for about 2 weeks now and I'm not liking it!!! I've been feeling extremely fatigued, nauseas, constipated, experiencing heartburn, having brown spotting and abdominal cramping. I don't know if I should keep this thing in or take it out. Right now, I'm feeling sooo nauseas I'm contemplating going to the hospital.

I am 24 yrs old and I have been using the NuvaRing for about 5 months now. The first few months were great. I loved the convenience of a once a month b/c.
The past few months I have been having severe breast changes. In size and tenderness. When I insert a new ring my breasts immediately increase at least a cup size within the first few days to a 36D! When it is removed, within days they are back to their normal size this itself isn't a bad thing, I have a 6 yr old daughter and since her birth I have not had the perkiest breasts, and when they increase they become swollen and firm. I was thrilled the first few times this happened. But now it's just too painful! I'm talking about severe pain, pain that brings tears to my eyes. Nothing seems to alleviate the swelling and pain. I need to wear a
very supportive bra, because gravity just increases the pain. Im afraid this constant shrinking and growing is going to cause my breasts to loose whatever perkiness they have left for good! I have tried heat, cold, and massage, and nothing seems to help at all.
I have noticed twice now with heat on my chest I had a hard time breathing, with the heating pad, and while in a hot tub, and have thought nothing of it. Maybe I should take it more seriously if it continues.
I have also noticed a decreased sex drive in the past two months, vaginal dryness, and pain while having sex.
I have been with my fiance for almost two years now and we have always had a wonderful relationship. Lately I just have no desire to be close with him, like holding hands or snuggling, I am normally a big fan of cuddling! Also everything he does and says seems to irritate the heck out of me. I have been seriously considering ending my relationship, but haven't because I know how great our relationship normally is. Reading these posts has given me something to think about. Maybe the reason for this is the NuvaRing. Thanks for all the advice!
