"i&#039;ve been using nuva ring for two months now. it&#039;s my first attempt at hormonal birth control, so i was a little nervous about side effects. i give nuva ring high marks for ease of use -it&#039;s really great in that sense. unfortunately, nuvaring has killed my libido, which started shortly after i began using it and has only gotten worse. at first i thought it might be coincidental but now i know it&#039;s not. my first month on nuvaring i also had a moderate acne breakout (very unusual for me). this hasn&#039;t happened again, though. i also get nausea the day after i insert a new ring, though i think that would fade if i kept using nuvaring. i hate to give up a birth control that&#039;s so easy to use, but i refuse to spend my life without any sex drive."
