Nuvaring - two questions

Hello all,

I've been using NuvaRing since Feb and overall I like it. However, has anyone noticed a decreased tolerance to alcohol? Twice in the last month I've had two glasses of wine and about an hour afterwards have extreme dizziness to the point where I cannot stand up. Never had this before and while I'm not a heavy drinker, I do have a glass a wine a night. I read the product literature and it does mention something about causing dizziness, but so does every drug interaction!

Second question; Anyone having UTIs with the Ring or increased UTIs? I used to get them before but they had disappeared for years. Now I'm on my third in a two months.

Thanks for any input on your experiences. Sigh... might not be the best b/c option afterall.

Are you drinking a different kind of wine than normal?
