I've been on NuvaRing since December. I was put on it for extremely bad cramping and excessive bleeding. My ob told me to put one in for 28 days, take it out and put another one in, she was trying to stop my period, and told me I would only have a period once every three months. In Jan. I developed a UTI which I have never had in my life, (I'm 31). I started spotting which lasted a week then turned into a full blown period that lasted more than a week. My ob told me to take it out, which within a couple of days my period stopped. I have been having hot flashes, I will go from being extremely cold to sweating and burning up, I have been bloated more times than I can count. I've had vaginal dryness, irritation, which is unusual. I kind of figured it was the ring, but I wanted to give it the benefit of doubt. I took my ring out tonight and am supposed to put another one in, but I rather live with my symptoms than deal with what I get with the ring. I would not recommend this to anyone.
