I've been on NuvaRing for about 6 months now and Its better than the last 6 birth controls i've been on in the last 4 years. I've gone through 4 different pills, and was on the shot for 2 years. The One thing i've noticed with the ring is that it makes me crazy! and not just once a month. I have random mood swings that I never used to get before I was on this ring, and I get violent! (not the kind of person i am.) Other than that, i really can't complain. Other birth controls were actually making me bleed for weeks at a time...sometimes months, and nothing was ever right. I'll deal with an occasional mood swing as long as im regular and healthy! oh yea...i like the fact that you can't even feel it =)
