I've been on Nuva Ring not quite a week and it's been great... my problem is now my irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is acting up. I'm not sure if the hormones have anything to do with it or if I just need to give it more time. I hate to give up so quickly! Has anyone else experienced this? And if so, what did you do?

When I first started the ring, I noticed that I had a lot more gas for the first week that I had it in.
