Q:

I have been on the NuvaRing birth control for almost two weeks now. My body has felt very sore and achy. Is this normal? Will it get better?

 

A:

No, it would not be considered a normal side effect of the NuvaRing. I am assuming that you mean that you are achy all over your body? If you are aching especially in the pelvic area, then perhaps it is related, although it is not a normal side effect. Either way, if it is really bothersome to you, and you can't attribute it to something else, like a new exercise program, then call 650-3400 for an appointment to get it checked out.
