"so i put the ring in on the first day of my period, 2 days later my period stopped and i am feeling nauseous, very tired, lost in appetite, and some discharge. i knew it was just my hormones changing so i knew it was going to pass. within the three weeks i started to notice how much i was sleeping, mood changes, weight gain, and feeling completely horrible about myself. on the 21st day i took the ring out and a day later i have an unbearable itch/ burn. i went to the doctors and they believe it was from my hormones changing. the ring is very effective i&#039;ve had intercourse plenty of times with no complications like pregnancy or uti, etc. i will not be putting the ring back in bc the hormones and side effects are too much for me to handle."
