birth control
"I was on Nuvaring for 3 months. As far as positives go it was easy to use and I did not get pregnant. Also, I was able to lose/maintain my weight (something I could not do while I was on Yaz for almost 2 years). However, I had spotting for around 20 days, which is something that's normal for me when I first go on birth control. But the deal breaker for me was how crazy emotional I got. I cried at least every day which is not normal for me, and a little after I went off of the Nuvaring that went away. One of my friends is on it and doesn't have this problem; everyone's body is different; if that didn't happen to me I would definitely still be on Nuvaring."
