OMG! I'm so happy to have found this site. I HATE the NuvaRing. I liked it at first because it seemed easy. after being on it for a few months I have gained 10 pounds, I'm a rather small girl, I have random migraines and worst of all I'm very very depressed, irritable, anxious, tired. I have had emotional issues in the past but never have i cried this much or been so sensitive. My boyfriend thinks I'm loosing it and now I know why. DAMN THE NUVARING

I've been on the ring for about a year. I haven't gained weight, but I've noticed some things that might be side-effects. I've had a a history of low-grade depression and anxiety, so it's hard for me to tell what's me and what's the ring. These have escalated lately, and I'm wondering if it's the ring. My husband thinks I've been different and I've felt horrible and angry and sad. I throw up almost every time I put it in after my period. Since I put it in this month, I've been hyperventilating and about on the edge of a panic attack constantly. I tried a low-dose pill, but it makes me bleed for weeks at a time. Does anybody have a suggestion for different pills that don't make you crazy?
