I'm glad to know that there are other women out there with similar problems as me. I recently became engaged, sexually active and with that, became a new user of the Ring. It was reccomended to me by two family member s who love it and would never go back to all the other methods they'd tried in the past. I, however, am not as lucky as they are. I put it in on the first day of my period, as directed. My period lasted about 8 days when it usually lasts five and I had brown spotting for the rest of the month. Intercourse became very painful for me from the get-go. It was like a burning sensation and it was horrible enough that my fiance and I have not done it for two weeks. I went in to my gyno and she said I had a yeast infection and that the Ring was healthy for the vagina because the vagina LIKES the hormones in it and that the Ring should improve the atmosphere in the vagina, if anything. So, I've had two UTI's and a yeast infection since putting it in, bleeding after intercourse, maddening headaches, cramps, ACNE (which it is suppose to clear up), and severe mood swings. But, my doc won't switch me to the pill because she thinks that my body will adjust. I guess I'll just give it some more time and, if it doesn't straighten up within another couple of weeks, I'll demand something else because this just is not working for me as I had hoped it would!

i'm 24 year old student and i love the fact that i dont have to take the pill everyday. But the MIGRAINES ARE KILLIN' ME!!! I had to leave class it was so bad. i have to take like 2-6 excedrin, almost every day, the week before and during my period just to get through the day. although I do have a history of headache and mingrines i have never expericened one so intense that it impairs my eyesight so that i cant drive home. luckly I dont have any vaginal irritations or mood swings at all like so many other women have described.i'm just a natural bitch..lol j/k. i'm I have only been using NR for a month and I know for a fact that it takes a while for your body to get used any type BP, so i'm gonna stick it out for rest of my 4 month trail and i'll be back to tell whats going on good luck to everyone else
