Before using the ring I'd tried the pill, which made me horribly sick, and the patch, which gave me rashes and clots.

The first two two months were fine; I didn't really notice any side effects. However in the passed two months I have gained about 20 pounds, even though I have been exercising regularly and eating well.

I had never head about it until 3 weeks ago when getting my annual, I brought up using Seasonale birth control and my doctor told me about the Ring, so he gave me a sample and sent me on my way. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36768 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 19:08:17 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36752 I am set to begin taking Nuvaring as soon as I get off my period this week. I got it from my campus health center and the resident ob/gyn said it had the same side effects as other forms of BC. This is the first time I will have started BC and am honestly http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36752 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 17:58:42 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36749 Hi there. I was researching possible side effects with Nuvaring and found this board. Lately, I've been irritable, I've been sleeping so much, I have no energy to do anything.. I went on Nuvaring due to my fiancee and I needing some kind of protection http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36749 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 13:51:35 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36740 I stumbled upon this site looking for side effects of a new BC I am about to start called Loestrin and after reading the horror stories about it, I was about to throw it out. I decided to look at the Nuvaring board because I was on it for 2 1/2 years and w http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36740 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 13:47:50 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36739 Boy I'm glad to have found this blog today. And I'll have you know that after reading through all the terrible side effects everyone has had, including myself, I went straight to the bathroom and took that darned ring out. Here I was thinking that someth http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36739 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:35:07 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36731 Oh, and I was just recently in the hospital with severe abdominal pain. I had been in pain for about 6 days so went in to get checked out. They found that I had 2 massive cysts on my ovaries that had ruptured. I think the Ring may have had something to do http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36731 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:33:38 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36730 When the ring first came out, I used it for about 2 years. It was great. No problems, no side effects whatsoever. I recently had a child and decided to start back up on the NuvaRing after a 3 year break with no BC. It was not the same as before, I was sick http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36730 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:04:10 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36729 I have been on Nuvaring for almost 3 years now since I had my second child. I haven't had many issues with it and actually really enjoy not having to remember to take a pill every day. However, in the past few months out of nowhere I am now experiencing http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36729 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 06:04:39 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36720 I googled Nuvaring and side effects and so glad i found this sight! I have had external vaginal itching and thought maybe it was due to dry skin. The last time I had sex it was uncomfortable. I feel great when it's time to take the Nuvaring out.

I have never had a problem and I have used it for 6 years....like I always say, one size does http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36668 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 00:46:17 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/36653 OMG!

I am a 35 year old mother of 2. I decided to use NuvaRing as my bc after having the morena (sp?) IUD taken out due to weight gain and excessive acne.
