birth control
"I've only been using the ring for a while, so I feel a little too biased to give it a perfect rating.  That said, I am (so far) satisfied with this form of birth control.  I've only experienced mild cramping since first using it (cramps while off my period), but nothing near unbearable.  No weight gain, no acne, no noticeable change in my sex-drive, etc. In fact, I was on the pill before switching to the ring.  On the pill, I had constant, heavy discharge.  Since switching to NuvaRing, the discharge has stopped!  And it is much, much easier than remembering a pill every day.  The ring does come out during intercourse, but it's no biggie: I just rinse it in cool water and reinsert it afterward.  No complaints about this ring from me. "
