I used the ring for five years and really didn't recognize the symptoms. I gained 9 pounds, got worse acne but it was really my happiness that suffered the most. My boyfriend broke up with me and so I stopped using the ring. Even while I was incredibly sad about the break-up, my mood improved so much I began to suspect the NuvaRing had been messing with me. The weight dropped off and I became way more recognizable to myself. I then tried it again. My appetite increased, I got really crabby and tired, I took it out after two weeks and the effects disappeared. I think I just have to realize these birth control options are serious medicine, and not built for everyone. I am thinking about getting a copper iud but am worried about that, too.

I was on Nuva ring for a few months and then went off b/c i didn't have time to get to the doctor to get a refill. i just went back on it in January. Honstly thank god i found this site. I've been feeling crazy! I've been having extreme moodswings, terrible nightmares, waking up totally freaked out covered in sweat, cold like symptoms, I've been stumbeling over my words, feeling overall weakness, really weak hands, I can barely buttin my shirt, I'm sick to my stomach ll the time, my boobs are huge (there already to big, thats not a good thing!) I'm exhausted all the time, breaking out all over, my back and my chest, bumps all over my skin and terrible vaginal odor..I mean terrible.

I'm not sure what happened and why I'm now having a hard time after the ring being sucessful, but I don't care the reason I'm done with the nuva ring. This sucks, i have adversity to the pill, it makes me totaly sick I can't stomach it. I treid three times unsuccesfuly to get an IUD. And I have the words worst cramps and ovarian cyste that haves made me faint, and end up in the er getting MRI's. What the hell is going on I thought I finally found a product that worked, I went off it , then i go back on and feel absolutly terrible, mentaly, physically and emotionaly!
I'd rather pass out from pain once a month than feel like i need to be in a rubber room hovering over a emisions basin, with breeze fresh apny liners on...I mean come on, if a drug did this to men it would of already been pulled from the market!
