Well, I personally have had no problems AT ALL with NuvaRing. Actually, it is the ONLY birth control that my body has handled without side effects. I've tried SO MANY different kinds of pills and even Mirena (IUD). I either had VERY heavy periods with awful cramps, or I had random spotting between periods. I have 2 kids and can't handle periods like that every month and when it comes to random spotting, my husband won't touch me when I'm bleeding cuz it grosses him out. And let me tell you...if Momma ain't happy...ain't NOBODY happy. It really depends on the person so don't be afraid to try it. If I never tried NuvaRing, I'd prolly have 5 kids and pregnant again.
