my partner went on nuvaring about two and a half weeks ago. since then she has become severely depressed and lethargic. we had chalked it up to unhappiness at work and some emotional disappointments with her family, but after reading this we have become convinced that the nr is a major part of the issue. she just took it out and we hope that tomorrow she will wake up and notice a difference. also, although she does suffer from migraines, they were more or less under control until the past week. she has had headaches everyday and has had to take imitrex for them. she has been nauseous and has also had problems sleeping. she also cries alot. she is not normally a depressed person. in fact, she is normally really positive. this is a horrible drug. does anyone know of a good option for regulating menstrual cycles? she is not on this for bc, just to regulate her cycle. any advice is welcomed. thanks.

I will say, no contraceptive is worth the pains. If it is not for birthcontrol, forget about it. There is never a way to balance hormone treatment, they seem to do more harm than good. I used implanon for 18months, I gained about 40pounds, became suicidal and nagged endlessly. I took it out and started Nuvaring, but I guess I am going to have to pull it out like right away. I have been having severe migraines attacks.
