I have been on the Nuvaring for a little over a year now and I have noticed so many changed. When I am on my period, I have stomach aches SO bad, i nearly pass out and I have been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which I never had before. I have abosolutley NO, i mean NO, sex drive WHAT so ever, the site of a male makes me want to punch them in the face, I have had such horrible mood swings its literally ruining my relationship with my boyfriend, i am wondering does anybody else get these side effects? I am going to make another appointment with my Doctor tomorrow and get off of this IMMEDIATLY! Reading everybody else's stories has helped so much!
