I started the Nuvaring last Friday, so like one week ago. Since then, I've experienced abdominal discomfort, nausea, and a big increase in discharge. I was started to be scared of pregnancy, but after reading all this I guess it could be from the ring. After reading about the mood swings, I'm starting to wonder if maybe the extreme paranoia/ups/downs over the possibility of pregnancy might be a side-effect too? Could somebody who's been on it longer post back to tell me if the time frame/side effects are about right?

At nine he was still thr...

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. =(
