If your debating the NuvaRing... don't do it! I had been on the NuvaRing for the 2 1/2 months. Shortly after beginning the NuvaRing, I lost concentration, went from a being rather elegant speaker to a babbling idiot, crazy moody, no sex drive, pain during and after sex, back and muscle pain, and severe sick headaches. Most of the above can be normal birth control side effects which sucked, but hey, I had lighter periods! What isn't normal, in my opinion, are the following... I began having symptoms of what felt like a cross between a bladdar infection and a yeast infection (burning, itching). Then, I started spotting. I thought I really had something wrong with me. That was until I began searching my symptoms online. I determined it was most likely the NuvaRing and removed it that night. By the next day, all symptoms of what I thought was an infection were gone. I felt much better. Unfortunately, I then had one of the worst periods in my life... not even a two weeks after my last period! I have always had horrible, heavy periods. In fact, I was put on birth control at 14 until I could get them under control. This one takes the cake. It pretty much reminds me of what I went through after having my baby. The NuvaRing just is not worth it, ladies. Save yourself months of frustration and stay away from this form of birth control.
