I think it's important to remember that women who've had bad experiences are more likely to post. Personally, I've been on Nuvaring for over a year, have had no problems and have actually lost about 30 lbs, although I don't think it was related to the Nuvaring. My sex drive has been significantly increased but I attribute that to the weight loss. I'm 39 years old, I noticed that few have posted their age which could be a factor in sex drive and reaction to the contraceptive.
