Well, I am so glad that I read these responses. I have had the absolute worst headache for 1 week now. It is miserable. It is on the right side of my head and goes down behind my right ear. I have even been so concerned about it that I had a CT scan of my head done. It was a pain like I have never had before. I was on the NuvaRing for two weeks and when I went for my yearly, after complaining of the headache, she yanked that sucker out. I have still yet to start a period 4 days after the fact, and welcome it with open arms. Hopefully when this hormone is out of my body, my so called "hormone induced migraine" will leave me. Lortab doesn't even subside the pain. UGH>

I have been been using the ring for about 3 months, and was overall pretty pleased with it. I had had a lot of spotting and bleeding between periods on every pill I had taken, and that has ceased since I started using the ring. I have noticed I am more emotional the week before my period, but I am willing to deal with it as opposed to the problems I was having before.

However, for about three weeks, I have had a headache every day. The post above describes my pain to a 't'. It is an overall ache combined with a sharp, stabbing pain in my right temple that shoots down over my ear to the base of my skull. I have nearly been brought to tears by the pain, and had begun to wonder if there was something seriously wrong with me. I have an appointment with my Obgyn next month, and I will definitely be bringing it up.
