i have been using the ring for the last three months for menstrual suppression because of a suspected case of adenomyosis. I have noticed lately that my whole vagina and cervix area are swollen and sore. I also too do not want to have sex and i could rip anyones head off at the drop of a hat...which is worse...bleeding for a year or feeling like you have vaginal elephantitis?

Forensickgirl96,

I completely understand your pain and frustration. I have had adenomyosis for years and have been on Nuvaring to treat it for 3 years. At first nuvaring made me crazy and hormonally sick and I wanted to stop, but once my body adjusted to the hormones it has given me my life back. I still have cramps, but they are nothing like before and my bleeding is very light if I even get a period at all. When I take the ring out for the 5 days, I just can't wait to put it back in to feel better again. I highly recommend that you tough it out for a little while longer and let the ring do its thing, you will not be bleeding heavily anymore and the pain of adenomyosis will finally be under control.

With support,
Heather
