I have been on the NuvaRing for about 6 months. I previously had the Mirena, which I also hated because I had every side effect in the book plus a couple more. I NuvaRing is alright, but I haver noticed that my skin is terrible. I have really dry irritating patches on both of my cheeks. I know that I am more irritated and moody, now by reading the posts I know that cause, here I thought I just hated my husband :). I also hate the discharge that comes with the NuvaRing. I actually didn't use the NuvaRing for one month because I never got the Rx in time and I didn't have any problems, life was good. I really don't trust myself without BC because I already have two kids and my last child was the definition of it only takes one time to get pregnant. I agree with the person that said they are ready for male BC.

I have been struggling with depression for the last 20 years (I am now 34), but this year has been my best ever. I have a great job, a fabulous therapist, am graduating in the spring, am blessed with wonderful friends and am realistically happy in my life. Then, within hours of inserting the NuvaRing, I became incredibly anxious and have remained depressed after two weeks. My skin has been an absolute disaster zone also, especially concerning black and white heads around my chin area. Has anyone else experienced acne? Has the acne that comes as a probable result of the hormones in NuvaRing gone away after a period of time? I have read many reports here from those who experienced remarkably similar episodes of depression, and I thank you; my heart goes out to you.
