The ring has less side-effects than other forms of hormonal birth control. The first (dryness), could be short term and can be addressed by using some lubrication. The second (loss of libido), is sometimes a short term effect of introducing hormone, at any level, into the system. Talk to your prescriber but do not give up; these issues often go away in a month or so as the body adjusts.
