NuvaRing and intrest

I've been on the NuvaRing for over a year now however my sex drive has gone from HOT TO TROT to THE DESERT in that time frame. I've got a boyfriend of 5 years who I believe is my soul mate and we have sex once every other month....I'm only 25!!! It's gotten to the point where last night he actually asked me if there was someone else because I have ZERO interest in being intimate (and my boyfriend is a VERY VERY attractive guy).

Don't get me wrong the NuvaRing has been great for me this past year. I tell everyone it's the "set it and forget it" method. But having no sex drive is killing my relationship and I'm thinking of taking this thing out once and for all and seeing what happens.

I do not want to lose my soul mate because of a stupid birth control. =(

I am 26 yrs old and I have been on Nuvaring for about 3-3 1/2 years. I thought this was the greatest thing not having to remember the pill and the short light periods. I have always sworn by this BC! I have been having side effects I never thought came from the ring until now. I have read a lot of the side effects others are having and I think my lack of sexual desire for the past 1 1/2 yrs. MAY be due to Nuvaring and not my getting married 2 yrs. ago. (lol) I also have headaches often, not bad ones but enough to carry Tylenol in my purse. And another is dryness before intercourse, that I never had a problem with 2 yrs. ago. I never put two and two together until I racked my brain and wondered why I struggled so badly with my lack of sexual desire. I could care less if I have sex or not! That just wasn't me 2 yrs ago! I just couldn't figure out what had changed, going back on any medicines I had taken the past 2 yrs., the Nuvaring is the only thing that was constant. I have a Dr. Appt today and I am going to discontinue use of the ring and see if the side effects subside like they have for some others. I will post again when I have an update. Please let me know if anyone else is having the side effects more than a year after using the Nuvaring!! Thanks!
