Vaginal ring and pelvic infection

Being on Nuvaring made me want to kill myself, literally. I’m in my mid/late twenties and in a more serious relationship I decided to try this as it is easier with application than daily pill. Shortly after going on Nuvaring I started feeling foggy, my emotions were a mess, Depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts started to occur out of thin air. I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life and I’ve always been a relatively happy and generally chipper person. I also started to see what I thought was acne on my back and chest but later found to be folliculitis. It is a very uncomfortable and unattractive fungal infection of the skin that was brought on by the birth control. Not everyone has this experience but I’ve spoken with others and read medical articles on this. I stopped NuvaRing and within a week my skin was clear and after a couple weeks my emotions regulated. I was totally back to normal. If you are considering this birth control, it may be helpful to do a lot of research. And if you take it and start having side effects, I would stop right away.

Pros: quite a fit and forget (for 3 weeks), doesn't affected by vomiting or intestinal problems. I fell pregnant just a month after I stopped this method. Cons: completely affected my sex drive, like... 0 with a huge problem with dryness BUT lot of leuchorrea.

Pros: lighter periods, really regular. Cons: 1. breast pain (for all the time of the use of the vaginal ring, 10 months), i felt discomfort/pain every time i groped my breasts 2. severe vaginal dryness that badly affected my sexual intercourses 3. very low sexual desire 4. I experienced infections that I hadn't had before (i had sexual intercourses only with my boyfriend)
