I just started with my first ring yesterday afternoon at 2pm. By 7pm, I was complaining to my husband that I must've had too much caffeine that day because my heart was palpitating out of my throat and I had a weird headache setting in. So far today, the heart palps and jitters were getting so bad I had no choice but to take the NUVARING out. I'm going to call my doctor on my lunch break from work, but this is NOT what I was hoping for when I switched from the pill. I'm a 27 year old newlywed and all I want is a birth control option that doesn't KILL my sex drive. I'd rather have a low sex drive and feel physically NORMAL than to deal with the heart palpitations. They didn't start until I put the ring in yesterday. I'm hoping in a few hours they hormones will get out of my system and I'll start feeling back to normal.

This is my 6th week on the nuvaring, and I have been noticing lately that I feel very short of breath almost like a panic attack. The other day I had chest pains. I am a smoker so I thought maybe it's starting to catch up with me, but I realized I started noticing this recently, probably since I've been on the ring. Yours was the only one that mentioned anything close to it. It's scary! What did your doctor end up telling you? I think I am going to take it out and see if I can tell a difference.
