I'm 36 and i've been on the NuvaRing for about 4 years now. It was great at first, since I kept forgetting to take a pill. This last cycle I was two days late to insert the new one. My side effects are awful! And this is the first time this has ever happened. I want to sleep all the time, my stomach is cramping horribly, my breasts are tender, and I am so bloated. I was thinking maybe I was PG, but after reading this, maybe it's just side effects...? Anyone else?

This is exactly what is happening to me. I had no idea my problems could be associated with NuvaRing, but my family doctor suggested today that I go see my OBGYN and change birth control. I left my ring in a week too long and then put it in one day late...that's when all my problems started. I seriously thought I was pregnant...had most of the symptoms, but all my pregnancy tests came back negative. I even did a blood test! I've had tender breasts, headaches, spotting instead of a period, etc. Glad to know this could be the cause!

I am having the same problem I was three days late putting it back in. Im a mess. My breasts are sore.. im an emotional basketcase. I have taken 5 HPT over the last two weeks all negative. I actually went for a blood test today. I have been on the ring for about a year and loved it up untill this point.
