NuvaRing?

Question

Have any of you ladies tried it?  If so, what are some side effects you experienced? 
Anyone had a pregnancy while using it?
I recently had a baby (5months ago) whom i actually struggled to have, it took us 2.5 years to conceive. I thought i wouldn’t be able to have babies....Fast forward...  im not sure if ill struggle to become pregnant again but i am also not trying to become pregnant any time soon so i decided to give this a try (just incase).  My midwife says, “now that we know you CAN get pregnant, just to be safe..  unless im ready for two under two 😅 (which i am not, lol) 
Anyhow, ive never had to use contraceptives therefore this is new to me. The pill, well, just seemed like a hassle having to take every day (at the same time). Better yet...What if i forgot?  
The IUD and implanon well can be kept in longer... etc but i also didnt want to go through the procedure plus i would want to have another baby within a year 1/2 - two years.  I stuck to NuvaRing but id like to know some side effects you ladies have experienced while using it.....
Also, i was given a year supply (12).  
Do they HAVE TO be kept in fridge?

Answer

LOVE LOVE LOVE Nuvaring. My fav BC. I would keep it in for 4 weeks and then put a new one in so I skipped my period. I would let myself get a period once every 3-4 months.

Answer

With a year supply yes it has to be refrigerated or it will lose its potency. I was on this over a year. It's fairly easy. Just put on your calendar when to take it and make sure you put it back in exactly 7 days whether you are bleeding or not. This was the only contraceptive I was on and we did not pull out and I didnt get pregnant. Not saying it couldn't happen,but I liked it. I did gain some weight as a side effect.

Answer

I loved it, I am very forgetful and even when I didn’t take it out on time it didn’t mess with me, I would take it out when I remembered and wait a week have my period and then do it again. I chose it because I wanted something that wouldn’t take too long to get out of my system when I was ready to try. I stop using mine in August. It really helped with my acne too.

Answer

I loved these, I started them around 15-16 years old and no side effects except a little healthy weight gain as I was underweight. I was on it in for about 3 years and it kept me from being a pregnant teenager!

Answer

Definitely keep them in the fridge! 
I liked nuvaring, in the beginning my discharge changed while I was adjusting to it but other than that a slight dip in my sex drive was the only other thing I noticed. It was super easy to deal with and way better than the pill for me.

Answer

I personally never used the ring but I had a friend that did.
She ended up with an unplanned pregnancy because she has IBS and she wasn't told by her doctor how IBS would lower the efficiency of the ring.

Answer

I used it when I was younger. It fell out while having sex (I think???) and didn’t notice. To this day I still have no idea where  or when it exactly fell out. Maybe during a night of drinking?
I ended up pregnant at 17. The pregnancy ended in miscarriage. 
I would never use this as birth control unless backup is also being used.

Answer

I ended up having heart problems using this. I liked the birth control other than the heart issues I was having but once I stopped using it my heart issues went away
