I have been on the nuvaring for about a year and a half, but just took out my last one. I am done with it. It was great for the first 3-4 months and I do still like the convenience, however I have been spotting two weeks out of every three I have it in, plus my period week, so basically bleeding for 3 weeks a month for the last year. I kept thinking it would go away, but it hasn't and I'm soooooooo over bleeding all the time. My doctor wouldn't switch me bc she said if I spot on nuvaring I will spot on anything else hormonal, so I guess I will be trying natural family planning. Wish me luck.
