For Birth Control "I once used NuvaRing for three months and had never had any problems with it. It was probably because of insurance coverage that they switched me to EluRyng, with which I had a very bad experience, including unexpected spots over several weeks. Additionally, I had mood swings, constantly felt depressed, and sometimes even had unexplained dark thoughts. I exercise regularly and have always been very healthy. I thought that the above symptoms might be caused by the generic ring. So I started searching online and read about other users' experiences. Once I found that other people also experienced similar symptoms, I took out the ring immediately. The worst part is that the effects from the ring would last for up to five months even after you cease using it."

For Birth Control "I actually had an okay experience with EluRyng. I have been on it for 18 months. I am getting off it next month to try Slynd, a minipill, just because the risk of stroke with combo methods spooks me a bit. It was the first birth control I had ever been on, and I only use it for pregnancy prevention. It has made my previously heavy and painful periods very light and short, and the cramping is very mild. It also cleared the cystic back acne I had. As for side effects, I have put on some weight, and I’d say I am more irritable nowadays, but it’s manageable. I actually got NuvaRing (the name brand) this month because my pharmacy didn't have the generic, and my acne came back immediately. I also am very moody and sad sometimes, and my stomach is so sensitive, I have a lot of nausea. So I think I actually did better on EluRyng than the name brand!"

For Birth Control "This was prescribed to me after not taking birth control for about 5 years. I was told I was getting the NuvaRing and was given the generic, unbeknownst to me. I didn’t realize until now, doing more research, what a difference there is between the two. Severe breakouts within 2 days… this is after medically treating my skin for over 8 months and clearing up ALL acne. Insane mood swings, crying, intolerance, anxiety. Definitely doesn’t mix right with antidepressants or ADHD medication. I took it out after day 2. I do not recommend it to any women!!"

For Birth Control "I started EluRyng on 6/29/21, and as of today, 8/3, I decided to discontinue use of this horrible birth control. Just in so little time, I’ve experienced constipation, mood swings, irritable anger outbursts, and acne. Wanted to act up. Absolutely horrible!"

For Birth Control "Extremely bloated, mood swings, breakthrough bleeding. I was on NuvaRing for 10 years, no issues, the generic is awful. Need to be taken off the market."

For Birth Control "Emotional, paranoid, irritated with everyone and everything, and crying constantly. The only reason I went on it is because Kaiser stopped covering NuvaRing. Now I am desperate to get off of it."

For Birth Control "I have been on it for a month and haven’t had any big issues. I have had a few mood swings and some anxiety and such, but I also didn’t switch over from the other ring."
