I started NuvaRing in Sept 2009. I started noticing my right boob was VERY sore like it felt bruised. I also noticed that I didn't want to have sex with my boyfriend. We have only been together since May so you know we were hot n heavy until I was put this thing in! I got to where I didn't want to be around him or have him touch me and I noticed that I was horrible to my kids! I didn't want to play with them, I just wanted them to go to their rooms and leave me alone. I thought it was just me and my boyfriend having trouble and I was just waiting for him to kick me out! I was having headaches and moodiness and I just wanted to stay in bed. I also noticed I gained some weight. Now I didn't step on the scale but my pants went from a 10/12 to a 14! My boyfriend actually heard about some side effects on TV one day when he got home from work and he asked me to take the NR out because he was concerned. So, I did and lo and behold, I started my period 2 1/2 weeks early! So, now I'm "google-ing" the NuvaRing and I find all this on all these different sites...so it's NOT just ME...it's a lot of women. I should have researched BEFORE i filled the script. No more NR for me...I can't stand the depressive and bitchy side of me and neither can my boyfriend!
