I am so relieved to know that I'm not turning into some crazed basket case! I've been on nuvaring for over 2 years. In the beginning, I couldn't believe the product...it was phenomenal! Put it in, and forget about it! Also, skipping periods was never so easy! I never spotted...just inserted a new ring and went on my merry way! Well, that all changed about a year ago. I was planning my wedding, so I chalked my moodiness and depression on this huge event (of course! makes sense, right?). Time went on, and the feelings have not dissipated. I have always been a very emotional "in tact" female...a tuff Texas girl! I've had management jobs where my even keel disposition has been key to my success. Now, I'm afraid I'm going to breakdown at work...that would be BAD...really bad. Also, my weight has been a thorn in my side. Although, I am not a big girl (135#), I'm bigger than I'd like (used to be 125). And, what's up with the belly pooch!? NEVER in my life have I had a belly that pokes out like this! I work out 4-5 x a week and eat healthy (yes healthy, you skeptics). My breasts have blown up like the Macy's day parade which my husband is all for, but I'm, quite frankly, getting a little scared of them:) I am taking my nuva out on Sunday, and I CANNOT wait!! I want to go back to my fun, happy-go-lucky self. BTW!! - To you men reading these entries with a girlfriend or wife that has recently turned into a crazy loon...stay strong for your lady. My husband has been an amazing man. I know he's wanted to get in his car and run away a couple times, but he has stuck by me. And I'm about to rock his world with my new and improved sex drive (when it decides to come back). Best of Luck and I'll see you lovely ladies on the other side!!

omg i am so glad that i found this website! I just started using the nuva ring i've only used on so far but i noticed that within that short time i began to feel very sad for no reason at all also the texture of my hair is changing and my sex drive has done a complete 360! I thought i was going crazy or something! and then i started to think i was pregnant because my menstrual didn't come yet! i am also having really bad headaches. really bad cramping. i see my dr. monday to talk about my side effects and honestly i dont want to use the nuva ring anymore. It's to scary! I use to use the ortha evra patch but decided to change bc because there was all this talk blood clots come to think of it the patch never gave me a problem like this! i think im just going to stick with condoms right now and me ans my fiance are fine with just that for now we already have a 1 year old but i think after i have one more child that i might get my tubes tide! thats the best bc i think!

i am so glad its not just me. i really thought i was going crazy, and my husband had had enough of me as well. im so upset that this ring caused all of this in my life, i just wished we were better informed, you know??? but i am so glad to hear that i am not the only one that had this experience, so that i know it was not my fault i had these side effects!
