A member asked:
Can the nuvaring cause breast problems? i have been on it and my breasts are very tender and swollen all the time now. also, i cannot take the pill.

Yes: Any birthcontrol pill (including nuvaring) can make your breast tender. A lot of times people get used to it. If not, then you may need to think of a different method.

Maybe: Nuvaring is the lowest estrogen dose hormonal contraceptive on the market but it still contains estrogen that is five times "stronger" than the Estrogens that are produced in the ovary. One of the side effects of estrogen stimulation is breast tenderness.
