I've been on NuvaRing for a little over 2 weeks now, before that I had been using the OrthoEvra patch. The patch was working just fine but it's less convenient in the summer (esp in TX) because sweating does cause the sticky stuff to ooze around the edges and I often found the patch stuck to my clothing. So, back to the ring...the first few days I swear I could feel it inside me but I gave it some time and figured I would get used to it which I have. I haven't experienced any of the other symptoms you all are sharing about but I have had horrible pain in my hips. It's not a joint pain, I think it is actually swollen lymph nodes. My OB/GYN said they had not heard of this type of side effect and suggested Tylenol and fluids and of course to call back if worse or if no better in 3 days. Is anyone else having hip pain or issues with their lymph nodes (hip area)?
