"i only lasted 6 weeks on the nuvaring. i experienced several side effects. vaginal discomfort, headaches, ache, depression, fatigue, mild nausea, complete loss of sex drive, and a weird sense of feeling unbalanced, but not quite dizzy. i also experienced an uncommon side effect where my cervix became so swollen i thought my uterus was prolapsing. after 3 weeks i started spotting. i switched it out at 4 weeks for a new ring and had breakthrough bleeding. i finally decided to just take it out because my swollen cervix was really freaking me out and i&#039;m now on day 20 of a messed up period. i passed a large amount of tissue a couple days ago and had a ruptured cyst this morning. neither of those have ever happened to me before."
