Sick after nuva-ring insertion

Hello!

I've been so happy using the ring, but my only complaint is that the day after I re-insert the ring, I get sick to my stomach. I experience nausea and other unpleasant side effects. I know that typically it takes about 3 months for your body to adjust to the ring, but I've been on the ring for 5 months and I've been experiencing it for 3. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I'm also wondering what I can do for it and why it's happening. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and thanks in advance for respondng! :)

I too am having some issues on the Ring. I am in my 2nd month--the first i bled for the entire 3 weeks + during my cycle. I thought things were ok after I began my second month--no bleeding-- but at the end of the second week(starting around saturday) i started having dull aches in my abdomen (though I couldn't tell if it was gas or cramps), tender breasts, and then I started bleeding yesterday--one week before I am supposed to. I have also been constipated all week, which is unusual because I am very regular. I don't know if the cause is the same, but i thought it was worth mentioning. I am going to give it another week to see what happens and then I am going to call my doctor.
