Newbie to Nuvaring!

I was just prescribed Nuvaring 2 days ago. But I was just wondering if anyone is/has been on it and their sex drive has diminished? I went on this to avoid the hassle of losing my sex drive with oral contraceptives, and to lower cramps. Has Nuvaring helped with anyones cramps? I haven't started it yet because I'm waiting to get my next period first. But if anyone knows it would be great! Thanks!

I have only been on it for 3 weeks so I couldn't tell you for sure. But so far I have had no problems with Nuvaring

I've been using Nuvaring for about 3 1/2 years, and I do have lighter/less painful periods than when I was on the pill.

I only managed to stay on the Nuvaring for a couple months. I had very heavy bleeding and my cramps were just as bad when I wasn't on any BC. I also had NO SEX DRIVE at all and it really was the ring cause when I went off it... I was back to my normal self..... Now I was on the Nuvaring before I had my daughter and loved it but ever since having her I can't seem to find any BC that suits me.

Sorry.... I hope that helps!

I have been on it for about 4 months now and my libido has gradually disappeared again.
