"i switched to the nuvaring about 3 weeks ago from the pill. i was excited by how much easier it was than worrying about taking a pill at the same time every day. this excitement quickly faded when i got suddenly feverish and sick on my 9th day with the nuvaring. i was too weak and had too severe cramping to leave my bed for 12 hours. but i steadily recovered after i removed the nuvaring. i had it out for two days and my doctor suggested i put a new one in, so i thought i&#039;d give it another chance. after another week, i&#039;ve had a sudden and vicious outbreak of cold sores on my lips. i used to get them all the time, but i hadn&#039;t had one in three years. i&#039;m done with the nuvaring for good."
