Good riddance symptoms and conditions

My girlfriend and I just got off NuvaRing. The final straw symptoms were an intense burning pain in and around her vagina, extremely low mood, and for me, an itching blotchy rash on the head of my penis.
There were problems with the NuvaRing for her from day one. There was the acne and weight gain, as many people have mentioned, as well as a slight but steady rust-colored discharge. One of the main nuisances of the ring was its tendency to trap semen somewhere in the vagina, only to release it sometimes hours later at incredibly inopportune moments. (Sorry if that's disgusting... Anyone else have that happen though?)
During the second month, the symptoms became worse and more numerous: Pain during and after sex, partly caused by unusual dryness, became a frequent problem. Weight gain and acne increased. And then, in the day or two before we took the ring out, both my penis and her vagina took on a smell which I will describe (somewhat esoterically) as being very similar to that of a good brie after the rind turns orange. In a bad way.
There followed lots of burning and irritation, especially for her, and a general itch which she seemed to have all over her body. She said the pain in her vagina was on par with the worst she'd ever had, coupled with an intense low mood. We became 100% convinced at that point that the ring had to go, and immediately after its removal the symptoms began to slowly subside. It's been less than 24 hours so far, and we're both still calling each other to complain about our genitals, but the bright side is: We're off NuvaRing, the symptoms are subsiding, and we'll never have to go through that again.
As a final note, a message to the women on here who were dumped by their boyfriends because of what NuvaRing did to you: Those guys sound pretty much worthless. Good riddance.

I started this BC as a means to control irregular periods (I was having them every 2 weeks), and although these pills seemed to control that problem , I can tell you it is NOT worth it! I was SO nauseated the first 2 weeks, and after almost one pack, I have gained like 10 lbs--and this is with dieting and working out every day! I have a normally high metabolism and I don't easily gain weight, so that says something. I have also been extremely irritable and anxious. Yes, my chest has gotten bigger, but they are sore all the time. I am stopping the FemconFe today--good riddance!

UPDATE to recent post on May 05 by adashjr:
I haven't taken my Diovan since horrible pain in my feet occurred on May 03. It is now May 18. My feet and knee feel AWESOME!!! the knee is back to it's pre-Diovan state of sporadic soreness but overall my lower joints haven't felt this good in a LONG LONG time. will admit I have no idea what my BP is having not taken DIOVAN for two+ weeks, but
will get back to gym and lose weight and lower my BP the old fashioned way. DIOVAN - GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!
