I know, old thread, but I figured I'd add.
I start NuvaRing a week ago. No real problems, although I did have some bad cramps the first couple of days. At the risk of TMI, I will note that I was also kind of constipated at the same time. So far, so good. Granted, it's early.
I've been on various BCs over the course of my nearly eight years as a sexually active woman; Ortho Tri-Cyclin, The Patch, Ortho Lo. The Patch was definitely my favorite--I hate taking pills, and I definitely have trouble remembering to take a pill at the same time every day. I've never had a lot of major problems with BC. At least, none that I can definitively attribute to BC itself. For instance, I had a low sex drive on my stint on Lo, but I was also in a failing relationship with a man to whom I was no longer attracted. So....hard to say. I've been off BC for a long time, so I'm eager to see how my body reacts.
Cheers!
