i've been on the nuva ring for a year now, and i started having complications about 6 months ago, when i contracted Bacterial Vaginosis, then after that cleared up, i got a bladder infection, and ever since i've been battling yeast infections non stop! i've gained 15 pounds in the past 6 months, always hungry, and in the past 2 months, my right breast has swollen tremendously and there is a constant pain on the side of the breast, i get strange headaches and find myself taking ibprofen for them 3 times a week, i get home from work at 2 am and sleep till noon/one and wake up feeling like i want to go back to bed or take a nap 3-4 hours later, i have a fiance and our SEX DRIVE IS BASICALLY GONE, i never want to engage sex, oral sex doesn't feel good, and when sex begins, it feels like needles scrapping my vaginal wall no matter how much lube we use, and after about 20 min when the session is over, i'm sitting on the toilet with a warm wet wash cloth, holding it to my vagina cuz it burns and stings so bad!!! my fiance just felt horrible and told me i bet it's the ring that is causing all these symptoms, i cried and cried cuz i'm thinking what is happening to me? i went from sex 3-4 times a week, to having sex once every 2 weeks only cuz i felt bad that we wern't doing it enough, and i suffered through it, so after we talked about it and going to see a doctor, i looked up the side effects for the nuva ring and found this site and my fiance and i are relieved to find out what the problem is, i just took the ring out and threw away my next 3 months of it, cuz i am DONE!!!
