I am not currently using nuvaring anymore because of a side effect I haven't really found anyone else experiencing. I would like to share my story and if anyone has had the same or similar symptoms please let me know because I am totally bewildered about it. I started using nuvaring after the birth of my daughter in December. I was on the ring for about one to two weeks. At first everything was fine but I started to experience very unique chest pains. The best way I can describe them is they felt like they were in the tissue and flesh in between my skin and my rib cage, and it felt like the area was being squished in a vice, and then my back would start to hurt alot. They first started about once every other day, but then got more frequent to the point when I stopped they were constant. I could not sleep because the only comfortable position was to sit down hunched over with a pillow on my stomach, with my back up against my headboard. My husband brought up the point that it could be the ring, and at that point I was willing to consider anything. I quit using the ring, and the pain stopped, for a little while. But it is still ongoing to this day. Although it only happens about once or twice a month, the pain is no less severe. I am sure it was the nuvaring or the ingredients in it that has triggered this because I have never had this problem before using it. Please if anyone has any advice or ideas, your help would be very much appreciated.

I was on the NuvaRing for about 4 months. Within the first month I was a wreck, suffering from depression, crying all the time and feeling anxious. By the second month I started to feel chest pains. My doctor said it was not related and I was stupid enough to believe them and kept it in, but not for long. The chest pain got so bad that I took it out and went to the ER. I had a CTscan and nothing was found. This was all well over a year ago. Since then I have had trouble breathing properly. Just siting down and typing I find have to make sure I am breathing, instead of it happening naturally. I have done every lung function/heart test and nothing is coming back irregular. Has anyone had this problem? I feel like I am going insane and no one can help me. I have rad a lot about side effects while on the ring, but has anyone suffered long term effects that are undiagnosed?
