I've been reading some of the responses of you ladies on the NR, and I just don't understand it at all. I'm 29 years old, and I've been on it for over 6 years-ish, and I absolutely love it. It took me many years to find a BC method that I liked, and I'm so sorry you all have had such horrific experiences, all I can say, is keep looking for one that you like, something is bound to work for you, but keep tabs on your own health. Remember that NOBODY knows your body like you do, and if a doctor thinks you're crazy, go to a different doctor.
