NuvaRing i'm thankful to find this site as well. I was on the nuva-ring before (a couple years ago) and didn't notice the side effects. I've recently tried it again. I've had the the NR in for less than a week and already notice side effects. I've been in such a terrible mood for the past 3 days (including crying fits) and couldn't identify the problem. My boyfriend is even being affected from it (as i am not the happy-go-lucky gal he is used to). I got to thinking that it may be due to a a hormone increase via the NuvaRing. And here I am... with just a simple google search.. I realize i'm not alone. I can't wait to tell my boyfriend so that i have something to blame this on
