Hi so I am writing this only for the future users that decide to try or are thinking too well ok here it goes... I do not like it and its not a personal problem against it after the third day of using nuvaring I had a uti for the whole day and I just was like how cause i always drink a glass off water before i go to bed then i go to sleep and wake up and have a bottle of water and go to the batheron.. then I went to the bathroom and vaginal disharge came out (not std ..Like when you are about to have sex and you get a sensation that is what it was) and that happened alot and then it caused my vagina to swallen it hurt so bad and then when me and my boyfriend tried to have sex i cried cause it hurt and was pushing against my cervix and he said it was stabbing inside his hole. and my vagina was dry. i got sick alot i thought i was pregnant the whole time and I threw up and my mom drove me to the er cause blood came out and i was having a uti and bad cramps .I was not on my mensrtal cycle i was in the second week. Look more happened but I am telling you it is a bad decision and after i tried it and saw these symptons i looked for reviews and wow I found reported deaths and more probabilty of getting pregnant. oh and call nuvaring customer care cause i did and the medical person i talked too told me percentage wise the pill is more effective. oh and there is many cases against them ..dont be anothere...Vanessa
