"i am a 28 year old mother of a 10 week old, i had never been on any hormonal birth control before and went on nuvaring due to it&#039;s &quot;low dose&quot; hormone content. at first it seemed like a amazing birth control due to its ease of use and it gave me no side effects whatsoever until the beginning of my second week of using it. i began to have tingling in both of my feet and hands and began getting strange sensations/pains in my arms and legs. i quit using it as soon as i researched the side-effects.
