I am amazed to read these side effects. I have been on the nuvaring for a little over a year now. The things I was experiencing I never associated with the ring. I have gained weight, feel so overly tired everyday, and have noticed that I get more headaches, and that I get pain in my chest that feels like the muscles are tightening making it hard to take deep breaths sometime. Then to top it all off I have been having pain in my gland in my neck and the gland gets rock hard. My boyfriend also tells me that I seem overly paranoid and stressed which has put a strain on our relationship. He is the one that suggested I look at the side effects people are experiencing. My only problem is I cannot take the pill, as that made me sooo depressed that I could not stand my self. I need to be on some kind of low dose hormone, and the last time I took myself off the pills I got pregnant and almost died.
