For Birth Control "I was on NuvaRing for YEARS with no side effects. I was switched to Eluryng about five months ago - despite eating super healthy and working out HARD I have gained 10+ pounds and my breasts are always super super tender. I've also started breaking out. Just bad - I'm getting switched off as soon as possible. Don't believe anyone when they say generic is the same!"

For Birth Control "I’ve been on EluRyng for about a month now. So far it’s been the best birth control I’ve tried. My period was lighter and came on time, I had little to no cramping, no nausea, appetite is the same, stable mood, and I'm feeling a lot better overall. The only thing I’ve noticed is a little bit more acne but I don’t mind. I’ve tried 10 different birth control pills to help with my ovarian cysts and endo and each one was a horrible experience. Don’t let reviews scare you everyone is different this has worked great for me so far!"

For Birth Control "Hello; after reading these comments, I feel justified. I’ve been feeling the absolute worst, for the last 2 months, without any obvious cause. I’ve spoken to my dr about this mystery illness, gotten bloodwork done, all to no avail. After my insurance switched me to EluRyng from NuvaRing 2 months ago, without telling me, I have literally wondered why I feel so bad. I have had a constant- and I do mean constant- headache. Every single day. I’ve had bouts of nausea and vomiting, I’ve lost 5lbs this month. I’ve never been so fatigued in my life. My anxiety, that has been under control, has been off the charts and I’m snapping at people for no reason. I’ve had absolutely no sex drive, which is unusual. And we hate to say it- but we shouldn’t- suicidal thoughts. This is the worst “medication” out there. And I really hope you read this BEFORE you also experience these symptoms and find yourself on google, because you think you’re wondering on how to keep living."

For Birth Control "I switched from an IUD to the ring and I really wish I hadn't. I've been on this ring since April of 2021 and it's now July. I can safely say this birth control the worst birth control for me. I asked for Nuvaring because I remember really liking it when I tried it about 6 years ago. They gave me this generic and I've never disliked intensely a BC as much as I do this one. My breasts are always sore. Constantly so. I have one mood now and it's always bad. I'm either depressed and not talking and kind of in a weird zombie state or I'm just in a general low mood. I have no sex drive anymore. I actually get mad if my boyfriend suggests it and that's not like me. I've also developed vision issues, terrible back pain and dark spots on my face that only started after I began taking this medication. I wish I had never touched this and I'm looking forward to getting another IUD. Last time I'll put synthetic hormones in my body."

For Birth Control "Worst birth control EVER!! I was on the Nuvaring for years and have had no problems I loved it! This thing is crap. I’m constantly spotting. My periods were super regular and always lasted 4 days. Now I will be on my period for weeks then I spot randomly when I’m not. It’s sometimes painful to have sex. I have legit had such bad anxiety and depression! One night I broke down and told my husband I was suicidal!! Horrible headaches feeling nauseous and tired all the time. I have thought multiple times I’m prego because of the side effects I was having. HORRIBLE Birth control I would rather use condoms then deal with this rubbish. Do NOT use this. It honestly should be recalled"

For Birth Control "I have used a lot of different birth controls in my 23 years of life and I was on nuva ring on and off the longest and I loved it had no problems except my libido was a bit less but I had extremely bad periods before it and would be out of school of work that whole week, other birth controls make me feel like I have morning sickness but this euryng has been the worst I had it in for less then 24 hours and I have never felt so sick in my life, it woke me up I felt like I was either going to poop my self or vomit all over the bathroom, as soon as I took it out I started feeling better, never using that again"

For Birth Control "I switched back to the other generic NuvaRing (made by Prasco) and I am back to normal. I had to get an override from my insurance company and had to make a bunch of calls, but it's been well worth it. I had one month of misery on the EluRyng (anxiety, itchy arms and legs, headaches etc.). I am so glad I read everyone's posts and reached out to my doctor. I really thought that all generics were the same, but I was clearly wrong."

For Birth Control "Honestly, I feel like I got lucky. Maybe it has something to do with me having no prior experience with the NuvaRing. This is my first birth control method, and I'm using the generic. So far, I have only experienced some mild nausea and mood swings, both of which are tolerable. After the first month, my period came in right when I expected it, and there was no spotting at all before the period whatsoever. I can't be too mad, granted it cost me nothing, and it works. But I'm sorry to hear about other womens' negative experiences with the NR generic."

For Birth Control "I had an allergic reaction to the EluRyng . My vagina was puffy and inflamed. My vaginal secretions felt like battery acid. Not even kidding. Put it in once, had a reaction, took it out reaction abated, then put it back in and it started all over again."

For Birth Control "I was using the Nuvaring for several months and I was very please with it, never had any side effects. One day my Insurance switch me for the generic Eluryng. It causes me vaginal itch during the first couple of days after insertion. I’ve been having morning headaches. My stomach feels bloated. I had mild depression and anxiety in the pass which was under control but this medication set it off. For the last two cycles, one or two days after I removed the ring, I experienced a terrible headache that will not go away for a day. I’ve never had a headache like those before. At the same time I’m experiencing weakness, palpitations, and cold sweat, light headed the week the ring is out. I called the insurance and the doctor needs to request an approval to put me back in the Nuvaring. They said it shouldn’t be a problem. Looking forward to get back on the brand"

For Birth Control "Last year, I picked up my birth control and the packaging looked different. When I looked more closely and saw this was a generic, I was shocked. My doctor had not prescribed it nor had my insurance company alerted me to any change but wanting to stay on my schedule, I tried it. This was an absolute mistake. Within days I was having terrible burning and discharge. As most women do, I decided to power through. This wasn't a good idea because things only got worse. Then came the cramps, back pain, spotting, insane mood swings, and unbelievable weight gain. I gained about 10 lbs in about 6 weeks. That is not normal! Not to mention that all of the symptoms only got worse with time. I was suffering. I went to my gyno and found out that this was an allergic reaction. In addition, my psychiatrist and endocrinologist have all had problems with their patients and EluRyng. I've had to fight my insurance company to get Nuvaring covered."

For Birth Control "This is my third week on Eluryng and it’s horrible. I have used brand name nuvaring and a different generic and have never had side effects like these. On this generic, I have experienced near constant anxiety, itchiness on my arms and legs, nausea, and bowel problems. I didn’t connect the itchiness to the ring until I read other posts. I feel like I am going to have a panic attack at least once a day and have cried at minor things (like not wanting to cook chicken for dinner one night). It’s also fallen out a few times, which rarely ever happened with the other two. I have been using a lot of deep breathing and grounding exercises to combat the anxious feelings. No one should have to tolerate these side effects. I have three more days left on this ryng and then will never be using it again."

For Birth Control "I had the worst reaction to Eluryng. It caused really bad nausea and headaches but I figured it was just my hormones adjusting themselves. That was until my vagina completely swelled up, it was throbbing, I was getting shooting pains, and it was bright red. It was incredibly painful and it began two weeks after taking it. I recently stopped and now I feel so much better. Don’t recommend whatsoever."

For Birth Control "Main Take Away: Trust your Gut! I used Elurying for nearly a 1yr and 6 months. Should have stopped sooner. The first 6 months I had little to none side effects. It was easy to use and trustworthy. After about a year though, I began to notice weight gain, bloating, stomach pain, and a constant need to eat. I could never skip a meal or it felt like death. It's easy to think that maybe it's just in your head or another factor with birth control but trust what you feel! -I'm now 6 months off it and I no longer have stomach bloat or pain. I've gone down 10 pounds and I think I may still lose more."

"I’m on my second Ring now I’ve never tried Nuvaring all i’ve noticed is that this is much better than the pill. I’ve not noticed any emotional side effects, I did spot for the first month but it went away now, my boobs have been pretty painful and I had a short period so a bit worried I’m pregnant but otherwise it’s been good.."

For Birth Control "I avoided this for too long due to reviews here but I don't want to pay $$$ for Nuvaring and Annovera gave me two week periods so I gave EluRyng a shot. It has been an amazing, easy experience. Super light, regular periods and no pms or nausea (which nuvaring gave me). I recommend giving it a try despite the scary reviews since everyone is different."

For Birth Control "I would not recommend this to anyone. Like many other reviewers I was I on on the nuvaring and had no issue. Honestly, it was the ideal birth control. My Insurance no longer can cover nuvaring and I was given this generic brand. I am never one to look down on generic brands (food, cleaning products etc) so I didn’t mind. However 1.5 years later I wish I would’ve taken the change seriously. I have gained SO much weight. I don’t even look the same I went from a size 4/6 to a size 10/12. On top of that during my time with the birth control I was so anxious to the point of nausea. Before any social event I needed to drink so much to calm down. I was just an anxious mess! I decided to get off this terrible birth control end of July (about 4 months ago). I feel mentally better and I can actually go places without being drunk! I am working out and finally seeing results! I went from 215 to 193- I have a lot more to go but this is progress! I wouldn’t recommend this birth control"

For Birth Control "Used this per prescription directions (as I did Nuvaring) I keep it at the proper temp, and practice safe sex otherwise, and did not get me period at all the week of my period week. Mind you, I do not remove it at anytime nor do I overextend the usage.Reading more reviews about how other women also have not gotten a period while trying this new Eluryng vs. Nuvaring."

For Birth Control "NuvaRing honestly changed my life for the better. I was switched to the EluRyng by my insurance and told by the pharmacy it was the exact same. Nearly two years of suffering and I've come to realize EluRyng is the culprit. it has caused me horrible fatigue, constant discharge/yeast infections, heavier more painful periods, worsened ADHD symptoms and reduced the effectiveness of my ADHD medication, increased frequency of debilitating cluster headaches/ocular migraines, worsened abdominal pain and bloating, leg cramps and muscle pains, irregular spotting, and insane sugar cravings. I use it continuously to skip periods, as I did with NuvaRing before, and the first week of EluRyng is somewhat comparable to NuvaRing, but the second and third bring on all the symptoms worse and worse each day and the last few days before the new one are debilitating - I basically feel like I have the flu and can't work or do anything. It should be illegal to tell ppl this drug is the same as NuvaRing"

For Birth Control "I began this early February after a year without the nuvaring. I used nuvaring for 5 years before and loved it with my whole heart, used the pill before and the ring made it so much easier for me with no issues or side effects. The Eluryng has broken me out pretty horribly and decreased my sex drive massively but worse than that it’s made my anxiety 10 times worse to the point where I stopped my newer dosage of anti depressants for a week (that had been working very well!) to see if that was the cause and it was not, this has sent me into a deep depression period. Really wish I’d have read more on this first but thought I would be getting the nuva ring. Took about 2 months for me to determine this was definitely the eluryng and I took it out. If you have any issues with mental health I would not even take a chance on this and I hope I can get back on the nuvaring."

For Birth Control "I do not understand how this drug is on the market. It's a shame that health insurance companies feel they have the medical prowess to change medications that have such a negative impact on women's lives and it seems like it's on a very large scale. And the fact that we live in a world where men can't even handle a birth control STUDY based on these types of symptoms saddens me. Something needs to be done, because this simply is not ok! I am currently battling with health insurance to get the name brand after 9 horrible months on generic without knowledge of them changing it. I had severe depression, anxiety, nausea, vomiting, irregular periods, shedding hair, loss of appetite...I could go on and I went to so many doctors trying to figure out why this was happening. If you recently changed to generic, stop taking it right away! I hope to feel better soon once I change back to name brand soon."

For Birth Control "I began cramping as soon as I inserted it until the day of my cycle that I was supposed to remove it. I became angry and depressed and anxious and even suicidal. I stopped torturing myself after one month, and didn't use Eluryng again. All of these symptoms were relieved after the ring was gone. This medication is a disaster. I weep for my fellow sisters."

For Birth Control "I feel like the oddball out, but I LOVED EluRyng. I was on it for years until my prescription plan changed and my insurance will now ONLY cover NuvaRing... go figure. The first month has been awful - I haven't stopped bleeding, I've been bloated, anxious, and on the higher end of the 150s in terms of weight, where normally it's almost always 148 (no changes in diet). I want to go back!! I could never tell (side effect-wise) that it was there, so I really hope based on all of these opposite reviews it takes this month to adjust, and then I'm in the clear."

For Birth Control "I was switched without knowing in the start of Jan 2020. A few months went by and I was having abdominal pain, moodiness, joint pain, and discomfort in my lower abdomen during sex. I spent the next year getting tested for a UTI almost every other month bc I was sure something was off. Nov 2020 I noticed my hair had been falling. Come Jan 2021 I put my ring in for the month and I woke up the next morning with horrible pain and SEVERE vaginal swelling. My body was trying to push the ring out I think, because the ring was pretty much sitting right at the opening. I removed the ring, felt a little better and the swelling went down. I went into the doctor the next day just to test 1 more time if it was a UTI. Its May and I'm still having abdominal pain, bleeding during sex, etc. A lot of people stopped using their rings 3ish months after prescribed, but I kept mine in for much longer. DONT USE ELURYNG. If you can't get the regular nuvaring brand anymore, just go ahead and get an IUD."
