birth control
"It has been effective in preventing pregnancy. However, it makes me feel like shit. I am nauseous all the time, especially the first couple of days after putting it in. I have heartburn and fatigue that has only started since I have been on the nuvaring. I got pregnant on the pill and that's why I switched, but I feel so bad all the time because of it. I haven't stopped taking it yet, I'm on month four because I keep hoping it will get better, but it doesn't. It has been effective in preventing pregnancy - feeling so crappy has urged me to take a lot of pregnancy tests, and it's so convenient to only worry about it twice a month (put it in, take it out). I wish it didn't make me feel so bad, because I would continue to use it."
