i just got on the nuvaring about 2 1/2 weeks ago. its about time for me to take it out. for good im starting to think. the reason i got on the nuvaring is because i was on the pill then stopped it for a while and i took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. then the next day i started bleeding and cramping really bad. i went to the doctor and they just did the urine pregnancy test on me and theirs came back negative. so apparently mine was a false positive. but this whole time i have been on the nuvaring i bleed NON-STOP. my period is usually only 5-6 days. and its been 2 1/2 weeks. i have no sex drive what so ever. couldn't because im bleeding anyway. horrible mood swings that drive my fiance just absolutely CRAZY! i have a 5 1/2 month old little girl and i try soo hard to be happy around her. but im soo emotional. i cry all the time about the littlest things. my breasts are incredibly tender. i have already gained 4 pounds. and i eat maybe once a day. i get these really sharp pains in my stomach that is just unbearable. i have always had bad cramps but just on the first day of my period and i could take Midol and it would make it go away. now NOTHING helps. the cramps are the worst pain. is it the nuvaring causing all these problems for me?

I'm not a doctor but could these symptoms be due to having a baby? You said you have a baby. I've known women who have had post pardom that lasted quite a while and I'm wondering if these problems could be from your body chemicals after child birth. You should go to see your obgyn and talk to him/her about all these problems. I've been on the nuvaring for about 3 years. My doctor tells me to leave it in and change it on the first of the month. Take it out and put the new one in right away. No periods, no cramps, its great. I take it out 2 to 3 times a year just to have a period cuz I feel my body should do this. I just take it out a wk early and put the new one in on the first. I do notice more cramping when I do have a period but other than that it works great for me. Good luck, I hope you get feeling better. Just be candid with your doctor and see what he/she recommends.
