I was on the nuva ring for about 3 weeks, this week I just had a complete meltdown, a panic/anxiety attack and bawling because I literally felt like a maniac. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I had really nasty ovary pains constantly, and really awful discharge daily. It never went away. I was so mean and blew up constantly to the people I loved most. I feel so bad for my guy, having to deal with this. the nuvaring isn't worth it. My dr did not say any of the symptom's I got the nuvaring had. Im so disappointed, but I felt better instantly as soon as I took it out. Im so glad I ran into this site because I have every symptom you ladies had as well. glad to know I wasn't alone. guess its condoms for me!
Start by asking her if she has been happy or if she has noticed a change in the way she feels. Chances are she has like the rest of us. Then tell her you started doing some research because you have noticed a significant change and came across the NuvaRing Side Effects. I didn't even make it a week on this thing. I hope she figures it out soon becasue it will change her life! You guys aren't alone... Good luck!
I was on the NuvaRing for four months, maybe five and within three days I felt like I was going crazy. I figured my body would adjust but four months later my relationship is in shambles and my boyfriend swears that I am not attracted to him anymore. The very thought of him touching me disgusted me and I would go into these rages where I would be inconsolable. I would cry and yell and laugh and cry and laugh and yell and cry - its a wonder he's still with me. TODAY - I took out the ring off cycle and mentally I feel more level headed. We argued again today but it didn't end in a blow up. Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me, maybe its the NuvaRing but it felt good to not be so dag on emotional about EVERYTHING! More importantly, we ended our day on a great note and I can't WAIT for him to get home. ;-) Bye Bye Nuvaring.
I am in desperate need of guidance..I hate the nuvaring after 7yrs of use I am a sex less emotional wreck with constant pelvic pain, painful intercourse etc..
I can't stop using BC because I have awful breakthrough bleedings genetically..does anyone have any pill they can recommend...I though about the implanon but would rather try a pill first...the mirena is not an option since my fiancé is scared it might make me infertile. Thanks everyone!
have you tried an iud. it is the only thing that doesnt mess with me mentally. and i have tried everything... depo, the "mini pill", the pill, nuva ring. over a course of ten years. also do you have any children?
Ive been on Nuva ring for about 4 years, maybe 5. I like that I don't have to pill it up every day. Pills I've been on before, including low dose yaz, and lo-ortho, as well as ortho tricycline have all made me a little nuts. Most of the pills affected me about a week before my period. Road rage, breaking things, etc. my step-mom pointed out the pattern.
I switched to Nuva ring bc taking a pill the same time everyday is impossible for me. I work long 12 hour shift and just not possible bc Bed time fluctuates, wake p time fluctuates, etc.
Fast forward to now. I'm not always a psycho. 90% maybe of the time I'm totally fine. The other, I'm irritable, low tolerance, break things in a 5year old tantrum, etc. I'm always disgusted with my behavior afterwards, and even during, but it feels like I have no control. I dragged a $1400 bike across pavement scratching up some of the frame. This is a bike I very much like and have babied until that point, I since apologized to it :) I've also thrown and destroyed a MacBook Pro that was perfectly fine once when I was upset with my boyfriend.
I'm more emo. I used to be pretty good about controlling my emotions, not crying. I hate crying. When I'm in my lucid moments, I know my behavior is inappropriate. Also, I used to never be dry vaginally; actually the opposite. Now, it's been this way for the past 4years. Also I have a decreased sex drive. Every once in a while it comes back, but fades quickly and the interest is lost... Horrible.
I spoke to my boyfriend this morning. I'm going off all bc and will use condoms. The IUD is too invasive and I've seen too many problems from it, for me.
