I'm 19 years old and have been on NuvaRing for 3 months. I am AWFUL at remembering the pill, so my gyno put me on it. I have not experienced any of these side effects...until i read this site! It's odd because I feel like I just shook a lot of things off to normality or just simple bodily changes, but now that I read and think about it, it's made a lot of changes in me too! I have had blurred vision with distance and kept telling my mom I really think I may need glasses! It was weird because up until recently, I had perfect vision! Not only that, I have had MAYBE five headaches in my lifetime! I find I get AT LEAST one a day now. Not only that, but my sex drive...oooh...it is completely non-existent now! I feel so horrible because my boyfriend asks me more and more if I am not attracted to him anymore. It makes me so sad because he definitely turns me on, but my body doesn't seem to react the way my mind does. It is painful to have sex more than about five minutes because it's dry and just becomes painful friction so we have to stop. I am so mad at EVERYTHING all the time! I feel like I nit-pick everything my boyfriend does and I just get so mad and frustrated over NOTHING! Just one wrong thing said and I'm to boiling point in about .2 seconds! I also have a crazy rash in the last month that I shook off to changing laundry detergent and having a reaction, but it's not gone yet. It's all the way from half way up my sides to my knees and everywhere in between! Including my elbows, forearms, neck, I'm miserable with it! I have to get off this after finally having something bring this to my attention! I am going to the gyno the next open chance! Thanks ladies!
