NuvaRing (ethinyl estradiol/etonogestrel) for Birth Control: I have been on the ring for several months now and absolutely love it. I don't like the more dramatic IUDs, but wanted something more reliable and convenient than spermicide condoms, etc. I'm terrible at remembering to take the pill, so the NuvaRing has been perfect for me. It goes in easy and I can't feel it. My boyfriend has no complaints either, theres only been ONE instance where he claimed he could feel it.

NuvaRing (ethinyl estradiol/etonogestrel) for Birth Control: I have used several pill form birth controls and the NuvaRing is my first non-pill method. I really like the fact that it is hassle free.I always had a hard time remembering to take the pill. Also, unlike the patch, it is not visible. I am the type who likes to have a period each month as an additional reassurance that I am not pregnant, so it is a better option for me than the shot or other period-free method. The side effects that I have experienced were mostly common- some water weight gain, shorter and lighter menstrual cycles, some cramping during my cycle. Some new side effects that I do not enjoy is a regualr (heavy) vaginal disharge which is stated as common for the ring. Also, I have random abdomen cramping.

NuvaRing (ethinyl estradiol/etonogestrel) for Birth Control: I LOVE NUVARING! I have NO side effects and my doctor said it was safe to use it continuously each month, how convenient is that! I get to pick and choose when I have my cycle and I insert it and forget about it for the month, it's the most idiot proof product ever.

NuvaRing (ethinyl estradiol/etonogestrel) for Birth Control: NuvaRing is my first kind of birth control and it's convenient because I don't have to remember to take a pill everyday. It has also evened out my up and down hormone mood swings but it's difficult to use when I am away traveling for a few weeks and happen to be needing to place the next one in. This is something I didn't think of until I planned a 14 day trip, which ended up right in the middle of my cycles.

NuvaRing (ethinyl estradiol/etonogestrel) for Birth Control: I love NuvaRing. It's so much easier than the pill and it makes me feel safer because it's a lot harder to mess up. The only problem is that it's really expensive.

NuvaRing (ethinyl estradiol/etonogestrel) for Birth Control: I am 20 years old and have tried 4 types of birth control, but they all made me sick. I was finally told to try NuvaRing so I am hoping all will work. Its only my first day so i dont know how I will react yet but it super easy/painless application and its only once a month which is a huge relief.

NuvaRing (ethinyl estradiol/etonogestrel) for Birth Control: Absolutely LOVE IT! With every other birth control I've used, my periods were unpredictable, but they have been almost perfect since I started the NuvaRing. I have gained a few pounds, but that's no big deal, because it beats thinking I am pregnant every month or that I'm going to die from losing so much blood.

NuvaRing (ethinyl estradiol/etonogestrel) for Birth Control: Very convenient. Most of the time, I don't even know it's there. I've experienced some emotional and physical side effects, mostly during the first day after I put a new ring in, but they started to subside after about 3 months' use. My boyfriend initially didn't want me to try NuvaRing, but it doesn't bother him now.
