"the nuvaring has been ok for me with the exception of making me feel like i have an uti on and off. it has dramatically increased vaginal discharged and causes some itchiness. i think this is what leads to the bladder irritation that feels like a uti. i&#039;ve also gotten some headaches and noticed some bloating around my abdomen. all in all i am probably going off of the ring. i&#039;m scared of any birth control at this point. they all have side effects."
