I have been on NuvaRing for over 3 years. I really like the fact that I don't have to remember to take a pill everyday.
Anyway, I want to see if anyone else out there has the same side effects as me.
Before I was on NuvaRing, I used to go out to the bars at least 3-4 times during the WEEK, and have plenty to drink. I was able to get up, feel a little hungover, but get right on my feet about an hour after I woke up and get right to work. I'd sometimes get a headache, but it wasn't anything. It didn't make me nauseated either.
Now, my fiance is telling me that the reason that I get SO hungover, even after a very relaxed night of drinking, may be related to being on the NuvaRing.
I can go out and have 2-3 drinks and the next day, my head is pounding and I puke all day long. I can't keep anything down, not even water. I will take a sip of water and 5 minutes later, I have to puke it up to make my stomach feel better. When I get these "hangovers" I finally can start eating after about 6 pm, but I'll still have the headache all night long.
Do you think that the NuvaRing causes dehydration and after drinking it makes it even worse?
I am getting married soon, so I will be going off the ring and will hopefully be able to see if there is a difference.
Good luck to you all!
