I have been on NuvaRing for a little over a month now and I'm going to take it out probably today. I have been extremely nausea. I feel like I did when I was pregnant with my daughter. It's horrible. I kept taking pregnancy test because I really thought I was pregnant. Thankfully I'm not but this is a horrible side effect from the NuvaRing. I'm also experiencing daily headaches and occasional migraines. I have been very tired and have no energy or sex drive. I would never recommend this to anyone

Oh thank goodness I'm not the only one on this POS that had the same symptoms on the Nuvaring as I did when I was pregnant with my son. I've been on the Nuvaring since April (this year)....Ever since starting this, I broke out in a very odd rash no one could explain. It was all over my legs and arms, and even spread to my face. It would turn red when I got hot, and it felt like sandpaper. It itched so much, it disrupted my daily routines. I had to take my newborn son to my parents to help me with him, it was so bad. I went back to my OB-GYN and told her I thought I was having a reaction to it, but she said give it one more month and if it's still there, we'll switch your BC. Magically, 2 weeks later, the bumps and the itching were gone and haven't returned, but in their place, major headaches, and weight gain, so much so I thought I was pregnant just 9 weeks after having my son. But now my sex drive is GONE. I spent a week alone with my significant other and he didn't even get a kiss. It's disrupting my life. I will NOT take it again.
