I am 25 and all of the stories sound so similar on here...just like mine. Love the NuvaRing or at least I did. My sex drive has gone down, and now when I have sex I seem to get asked "What's wrong? Are you okay?" because I have such dryness that causes extreme itching and burning during intercourse. I have had yeast infections since 2 months after being on it (Been on it for about a year)...that never seem to go away. Just recently my breasts have been so swollen and sore, and suddenly I have this brown discharge (no odor) its just as though I have been on the end of my period for two weeks now...not fun!...sound familiar at all? I understand so many people can react so differently, so for those of you who have not been on it, try it, it may not effect you in such a negative manor, but for me I have got to find something else...I have my appt in two weeks...having tried so many other forms of BC this is a real disappointment to me because remembering to take a pill is not my style...=) Let me know if this sounds familiar to anyone else...Thanks!

I can relate to the chronic yeast infections. Iv been thinking just recently they may be from the ring. For about 4 or 5 months now i have either had one massive yeast infection that wont go away/respond to medecine or it just keeps coming back. Im fed up with these creams and then not beeing able to have sex for a week or two at a time. Its super frustrating for my husband and i. We are only 23 and to not be able to have sex for half of each month really sux! This is my first time researching side effects and i cant believe how many people are suffering too!
