Hi,

I, being a migraine sufferer, had to try many forms of birth control before I found one that worked for me. I was on the NuvaRing for awhile and found it did decrease my libido a bit. Although this is most likely not the source of your problem, it could be adding to it. Also, it is very possible that the vaginal discomfort you feel is due to the NuvaRing, as one of it's common side effects (as listed on the maufacturer's website at http://www.nuvaring.com/Consumer/pat...tons/index.asp) is vaginal irritaion. I would go to your gyno and talk to them about alternatives. I highly recommend the Mirena IUD if you are in a monogomous relationship and you are certain both you and your partner are disease free... it is a bit painful upon insertion but stays put for five years with little to no problems.


Hope that helps, and good luck!
