Hi, ladies - Thinking about switching from the patch to nuvaring and was wondering if anyone has done that. I'm concerned about triggering a migraine as I believe the nuvaring has less estrogen than the patch. I'm still getting minor headaches on the patch and I'm afraid the drop in estrogen will make it worse. Thanks for any opinions.

I have recently changed from the patch to the ring. I have had no problems with headaches or anything. The only problem I had was with the ring coming out during sex, this happened twice. You do have 3 hrs to put it back in but it was annoying. Other than that, it's ok.
