birth control
"I have been on the Nuvaring for 2 1/2 years and have decided to go off it this month. Let me state, I know correlation does not (always) equal causation. I will write back in a few months to see if my issues have cleared up! No mood swings for me or weight gain/loss but....

I have decided to go off due to the following: 

1. Never had a sinus infection in my life prior to the ring. The past 2 years I have gotten chronic sinus infections, and apparently this is a common side effect (who knew??)  
2. I can't deal with the discharge anymore, its like I have to wear a tampon all the time.  
3. Began to develop major digestive and bloating issues/water retention. 
4. My sex drive is virtually gone now. (Defeats the purpose don't you think?)"
