OMG. I can't believe what I'm reading. I simply googled side effects of Nuva Ring and found people who experience similar things. I've been on the Ring for nearly 2 years and have been enjoying it for the most part. I don't have to remember to take it everyday and get paranoid if I miss a day and I can keep the secrecy of it from friends and family. I'm 27 years old and have always been healthy and happy. While I haven't had any of the other symptoms like acne, weight gain, etc. I feel like I have no sex drive. I have pain during intercourse most of the time and I frequently feel dry. I just thought I was weird or abnormal because I never feel like having sex with my longtime, amazing boyfriend. My gyno at Planned Parenthood said she hasn't heard of those complaints with the Ring. Also, since last August, I've been feeling restless at nights with leg cramping but the doctors ruled out Restless Leg Syndrome and the MRI's came out clear.
Has anyone else experienced restless legs at night since starting the Ring?

I want to get off of it to get my drive back but that means sacrificing secrecy and peace of mind. Are there any birth control options that are better than the Ring?

I have had the same kind of pain during/after sex as well! I'm 26 and a newly wed, and my husband is starting to feel like he's the problem. After 9 months on the NuvaRing, I have taken it out tonight and will not be on it again.
