"at first it was great. i experienced some side effects (headaches &amp; nausea) but didn&#039;t think to attribute them to the nuvaring. then they became regular, and the headaches got bad! i have a 7 month old and they make it difficult to care for him. nothing gets rid of them and the pain makes me super irritable. i started the nuvaring 3 months ago, i was almost back to my pre-baby weight. i have since gained almost 15 lbs and have no sex drive, which is putting a major strain on my relationship. to top it off, the past 2 months i&#039;ve started my cycle a few days early (17-18 days) while the ring was still inserted. i&#039;m changing my birth control.
