I am 18 years old and ive been on the nuvaring for about 2 months.. Ive been depressed, angry for no reason, snappy at my boyfriend and on top of that- my once amazing sex drive has dropped off the face of the planet. Ive been on edge and anxious, ive had constant headaches all day, plus calf/foot cramping. Ive woken up in the middle of the night almost every night since i put the ring in.
I just took it out this morning after researching and looking on multiple websites, and im so so SO happy i found this website.. Already im noticing a difference in myself this afternoon and its awesome.
I find it sickening that when i brought this up to my gyno she had no idea about the symptoms i had been having and i type in "nuvaring" in google and it brings up thousands of pages of symptoms, side effects and even deaths.. Its scary.
Ladies, do your research, no more nuvaring for me.
