Thank God I'm not alone. I have been on NuvaRing for ten days and life is aweful, I'm exhausted all the time, which I thought was due to having an 18month old. I wake up in the middle of the night with my heart racing, but so tired I can't fall back asleep, I want to nap during the day but my body wants to keep going but I'm so tired, plus I have severe mood swings. I yell at my son and take it out on my husband life in my house is terrible right, now and after I scream and yell, I cry. I had severe depression in life before and this is what it felt like, I never wanted to be in this state again, and here I am with a family like this and my poor family is taking it all. I called my doctor to see what to do and they told me this is actually supposed to have reverse effects because its low hormone and to stick to it for another month. I'm just scared that the depression will get worse or I will lose control.

Get off the Nuvaring now! I stayed on it for six months and it made life pure, unadulterated hell. There are OTHER birth control options out there. My husband and I have been using non-hormonal methods for over a year and we have yet to conceive. If you're careful, you don't need a pill!
Nuvaring caused severe weight gain, severe depression, frequent UTI's and ZERO interest in sex. My poor husband said that I was a raving lunatic on it, and I agree with him. Get off of it now before it causes even more damage!
