"after my second baby, i was having problems with pain during sex (9 months  to a year post partum). my doctor prescribed the nuvaring to treat that issue as well as provide some birth control. the first two weeks i had this in were a dream! no side effects, nothing negative. after that i was so nauseous i was constantly  taking zofran and reglan and could barely function. after 6 weeks i had lost 10 pounds and decided to take it out. i wish it wouldn&#039;t have been so bad or i would have stuck it out."
