Nuva ring and respiratory tract infection-anyone?

Has anyone gotten an upper respiratory tract infection while on the Nuva ring? I think I may have one, as I have been coughing to death for about 2 weeks, and coincidently have been on the NR for about 3.

Anyone have to stop using it because of this? Anyone had a Dr. say anything about it?

No kidding Roja! Have you found any place that was less expensive than others, or any online coupon-type deals?

I have been on the Nuva Ring for almost a year and have never had a URTI.

You have a coincidence on your hand! I know many people on the nuvaring who have never had a resp infection at all.

(not to mention I deal with drugs on a regular basis and have studied Pharmacology)

Go see the Dr. he may be able to give you an antibiotic to help you fight the infection. Or give you a prescription cough med to help you stop.

Good Luck!! Hope it clears up soon! URTI are never fun!

NO, I've been on the NuvaRing for about 2 years now and haven't experienced ANY side-effects (that I've noticed)...I LOVE the low-dosage and being able to only mess with it once a month. I just wish it was cheaper!!

I have been on Nuva ring for 1 1/2 years and have had no problems. I think it is an awesome method of birth control, especially if you forget pills easily. I would talk to your OBGYN but Maybe its just coincidental.
