I started the NUVARING around Christmas time. My boyfriend had just come home from Iraq, so I thought it would be a good idea to get on birth control. I was excited about the NUVARING, but after a few days I felt as if I had a UTI and a yeast infection. I also had a decreased libido. The fact that every time I sat down it started to fall out was a pain in the butt. With all of the side effects I started to get a mild form of depression, which still continued after I took it out after the first month. I am a nurse and just recently after I stopped using the NUVARING a young patient came in with a Pulmonary emboli from smoking with the Nuvaring. So ladies be careful and aware of these side effects.
