well...well...I am not too pleased with the Nuva Ring either. I have been on it only for about 6 months. I got on it because I didn't want to have to take a pill every day, and due to the fact of everything being said about the Patch I switched to this ring. Well.....I got it at a local clinic and there when you get more of your prescription they ask questions. I told them that I have absolutely NO....ZERO----0---- sex drive Ya, know it's pretty horrible, and disatisfying when your parents to whom are in their 50's are having more intercorse than me at 23....yes TWENTY THREE YEARS OLD! So....I have discharge really bad, they didn't give me anything at the clinic they just said "yes, that is a side effect." I told them that my sex drive has gone from like 5 days a week to maybe if me and my parenter are lucky( to which most of the time we are not.)once a month ONE TIME and I'M 23!!! I have gained weight. and...I sleep ALOT! So.....If you want to have to wipe out your panties, every time you use the bathroom due to your increased discharge, hide your panties when you are in the process of having intercourse and having no sex at all....go ahead!!!! Be my guest, because I'm going back on the pill.
