You can still experience nausea on the Ring -- even though you don't take it orally the hormones still circulate throughout the body, which can cause nausea in some users. Ask my belly a year and a half ago ;)
To the OP: the Ring has ended up working fine for me in the end, but my first two months were miserable from a variety of side effects (frequent headache, nausea, cramps, MOOD SWINGS gah). It doesn't necessarily work great for everyone, just so you're aware that if you try it and it doesn't work with your body at all, you aren't alone. Just like any HBC some people experience no side effects, others experience some that go away, and still others experience miserable ones.
I'd probably recommend an IUD since you sound pretty fed up with hormones.
