"i don&#039;t normally do these but i have to share what i went through on the nuvaring so that maybe it can help someone else understand more about it. i had been taking the nuva for 2+ years with no complaints. i was/am currently in a monogamous relationship. very happy. we&#039;ve been together for many years now but we&#039;re still quite young. (early 20s) one thing that was never reliable was our sex life. i desired him and vice versa, but i was just never in the mood. this went on for a couple years and all along i thought it was me. many fights came out of this. long story short, i ran out of refills and went a few weeks without and realized the nuva was surpressing my libido. it almost cost me my relationship. take from that what you will."
