I've been on the ring for four full months now and am the most pleased with this than any other birth control I've been on. This is the first method that I didn't feel super moody and irritable. I'm completely myself and am not wanting to eat everything in sight. I have had only slight side effects, such as lower back pain, but it definitely lessened after I completed three full cycles. My periods are also super light and short. Before I started birth control my periods were 7 days and I had to change my super tampon every 2 - 3 hours for days. Now they're barely 3 days and I only use regular tampons that last the full 8 hours. I do have more discharge than normal and I have breakouts during the second week, but it can easily be covered by makeup. I'm going to change birth control pills for a few months to see if I can find one that doesn't have those side effects, but if not then I'm switching back.
