I am having terrible side effects as well. My husband and I decided to
try for a third child. I got on the nuvaring site and it said I could
remove it at any time in my cycle and resume to my normal cycle to
concieve. I removed it Friday night...by Sunday morning I knew
something was seriously wrong. Now it is Thursday...my back feels like
I am having back labor! I am bleeding so heavily I bled through a super
tampon, huge pad and pants this morning (I have been soaking a tampon
and pad together in one hour). I loved the ring when I was using it (
for over a year), but now I am in serious pain and very tired from
bleeding so heavily. I am considering going to hospital soon if things
don't look up. I am very upset tohear about the problems conceiving. We
got pregnant right away the first two times, and I had assumed it would
happen again. I am not up to the disapointment of not being able to
concieve. Have you learned any new info?
