I have always had trouble with birth controls either giving me a false pregnancy or making me sick or feel crazy. The nuvaring most recently was giving me HORRIBLE migraines and unbelievable nausea. I’ve been off it for a week now and I’m still sick and all I want to do is sleep. My doctor said it could be 2 or more weeks that I’m feeling side effects. If it works for you then great, but those who ... Show Full Comment

If it works for you then great, but those who are sensitive to estrogen and BC then please use with caution !

This was horrible, honestly. I'm normally very calm, and levelheaded, and I've never had history of depression or anxiety. Nuvaring made me gain weight like CRAZY (which I dropped again immediately after stopping use), depressed (My first ever suicidal thought, yay), and angry at everyone and everything. I drove my sweet boyfriend CRAZY, and it was so hard to deal with things that normally ... Show Full Comment

Nuvaring made me gain weight like CRAZY (which I dropped again immediately after stopping use), depressed (My first ever suicidal thought, yay), and angry at everyone and everything. I drove my sweet boyfriend CRAZY, and it was so hard to deal with things that normally wouldn't have even made me take a second look. Little things made me angry. The best part, it MURDERED my sex drive. Why even take BC if I don't want sex? This was one of the worst experiences of my life. I don't want to say that it won't work for everyone (because I know everyone is different), but it was a really poor experience for me, and I urge you to pay attention to your body, your moods, your weight, and your sex drive if you start the nuvaring.

At first I was hesitant because I have tried the pill, nexplanon, and the Skyla IUD. On all of those I became so extremely moody, I was toxic towards myself and I hated how they made me feel. This I felt was one of my last options... and I love it. The only problem I had was getting my body used to the hormones, but after two months my body was used to it. My husband does not feel it at all. Make ... Show Full Comment

My husband does not feel it at all. Make sure you have it placed correctly, otherwise it will sometimes weasel down and it's a little uncomfortable. I loved the fact that if I decided I hated it then I could take it out myself, unlike IUD and arm implant. I would 100% recommend this. And to those who are worried about weight gain, I actually lost 20lb on this medication!

I started to use Annovera ring 100 times better than Nuevaring. Wish have done it long time ago!
