I was on Nuvaring for one month and things were okay but not great - nausea and cramping. Then after taking it out for a week and putting it in for the second week I only made it 3 days before I thought I was going to die. I did the patch years ago, which admitting that raises eyebrows but that was a cakewalk compared to this! I feel like it's ruined me for good because I took it out two weeks ago and the symptoms aren't getting better - they're just changing. I feel pregnant and I know I'm not. I feel like I have cysts or something and I know I need to see a doctor. I'm so scared that using this for a grand total of 3 weeks 3 days has ruined me. I have heartburn, cramps, abdominal pain, swollen breasts, weight gain in the mid-section...this was THE worst idea ever!

Hello, I was also i nuvaring for 3 months and it cause me the same symptoms that you just mention just a little bit amplified with panic attacks, severe depression, and nauseas i lost 20 pounds in total. As soon as I figured that was the ring I took it out and the same day I felt much better, after two weeks I stop feeling severe depression and have really swollen breast that hurt. I have been off the ring for 1 month and some weeks and I still have anxiety, I have been bleeding period for almost 3 weeks and I havent gain my weight back. My stomach is still fkd up with heartburn and sometimes nauseas. But no more panic attack or serious craziness or nauseas like before. Dr. hasnt prescribed anything or any labtest. But im having vitamin b12 since i have read online it helps with the nerves. Hope this helps....

Caw, I feel like I am you, I am having all those problems and feel like my body is ravaged, did you have any luck finding other cases, treatments, or reasons for this?
