"i was on the nuvaring for 6 years. when i first started it, i had the typical headaches and nauseous feeling that&#039;s normal when starting bc. over the course of those 6 years, i began having mild depression, and lost my enthusiasm for life or anything really. i would have sharp and intense pains in my lower abdomen area (uterus/ovaries) which at some points had my bent over in pain. on 2 ocasions that i can recall, i had very irregular and very heavy bleeding, which is very unusual for myself, especially because both times the bleeding lasted nearly a month. when i finally got fed up enough with nuvaring and took it out for good i was bleeding extremely heavily for 2-3 weeks straight after my regular period. within 2 days bleeding was done."
