I was put on the NuvaRing by my OBGYN to fix endometriosis... that was 5 1/2 years ago... I'm now 26 and I have been having dizzy spells for a while... actually passed out twice while living in New York for the past 4 years... not fun when you're on the Subway! Recently - the back of my legs started hurting! Then my calves swelled up! All these new veins appeared and I rushed to my general physician! The first thing out of her mouth was are you on birth control... GET OFF! When i told her it was NuvaRing - she was 99% sure it was it! I had an ultrasound to make sure it wasn't blood clots and it's not... so I went to nuvaring website and one of their symptoms is pain in back of knees and swelling! RIDICULOUS!!!! I took it out immediately! Even the 32 year old who did my ultrasounds said she voluntarily got off all BC because of everyone she has come in there with liver, blood, heart problems!

This is just sooooo crazy, I know exactly what you went through. I live in NYC, i had panic attacks in the subway, (wanting to jump out between stops, wanting to run away like a maniac and crying between every single stop) Not to say that in wallstreet and bwnassau stops i was freaking out without air because of the amount of people there. Luckily i never pass out anywhere, but i couldnt go out for 3 months and i was deeply deppressed at home pass winter it was awful. I experience all and every single one of the side effects of this sh... I used the patch for a year or so and i stop it because of the pain in my calves and legs. Nuvaring caused it too but much less than the patch.
