I have been on the NuvaRing for at least 4-5 yrs now and I love it. However, it wasn't until my cousin and sister started to use it and began to complain of low-to-no sex drive. I have no issues in this area, in fact, my sex drive seems to be in overdrive. But, in the last few months my mood swings and level of depression seem to have increased along with moments of elevated anxiety. I also cry at the drop of a dime these days. I am overall a very happy-go-lucky person and just attributed these symptoms to personal and financial problems. I'm not really sure what to think about the ring, it's so convenient but i may have to revisit my choice of BC if I find out that it's directly contributing to my symptoms. My research continues.
