birth control
"I have been using the ring for a few months now as an alternative to Ortho Evra (the patch). I was tired of the patch coming off, getting stuck to my clothing, and causing skin irritation. I like the ease of use of the ring and being able to forget about it for three weeks. However, I have experienced a very noticable decrease in my desire to have sex as well as vaginal irritation (itching and discharge). I tend to take it out before sex also because certain positions caused pain with it in. I'm still debating getting off of this birth control because of the side effects."
