Omg, I thought I was crazy until I read the reviews on this site. I've been on the NR for over a year now and it has been HORRIBLE. I originally thought it was okay b/c I didn't have to remember to take a pill, but now I'm excited to be going back to the pill! My skin was crystal clear when I was on the pill (all the different kinds ive tried), but that ended when I got on the NR. I am BEYOND moody, anything will make me snap, I cry instantly, have WAY too much v-discharge, sex hurts really bad.. to the point where I can't even do it twice in a row with my boyfriend anymore, and besides that I don't even have a sex drive. I have to force myself to do it.. and thats hard because I can barely get wet anymore. Oh and here's the worst thing: I'VE GAINED 31 POUNDS SINCE I HAVE BEEN ON THE NR!! I went from 105 to 136. And I've always been the kind of person that NEVER could gain weight.. but now I realize that the ring is the reason I'm having so many issues. I am switching to Ortho try cyclen lo next week and am BEYOND happy. I can't take this anymore! I don't recommend that ANYONE try the NuvaRing.. it is HORRIBLE!
