I've been on Nuvaring for almost a year, and I absolutely love it! I had been on more than 5 kinds of bc pills in 4 years when I finally switched. My period was never regular, and it always lasted more than a week, with at least a week of severe cramping. In the first month of being on Nuvaring, there was noticably less cramping, and my period only lasted 3 (light-medium) days. Since the first month, my period has come every 28 days, and I can almost pinpoint the exact time it will start. If I have any cramping at all, it's very minor and doesn't require more than two Ibuprofen. Nuvaring has made my life so much easier, and it's so easy to use and so hard to forget. The only side effect I've noticed is an increase in vaginal discharge, and even that isn't unbearable.

Finally! I knew it. I got on NR when my baby was 9 months old. My libido went from high to zero, literally. I was already on medicine for anxiety/depression, but it seemed to stop working, and I got really bad. I went to the DR. He changed my anxiety medication. I was an emotional mess and told him about the sex drive thing. He said it was due to stress or a problem in the marriage...Now my baby is over two years old, and the sex drive is still non-existent. I know that it started at the exact time I started the Nuva Ring. The DR swears there is no way it is caused by the NR. But I knew that was all it could be. This has had a bad effect on my marriage and my whole life. Thank God I found this site. I gotta get off this thing and get my life back!
