"i have been on the nuvaring (nr) for about 6 months. although it is extremely convenient, i have had the worst mood swings ever. the mood swings over power the convenience of the nr for me. i have also gained about 10-15 pounds, which is not normal for me at all (20 years old), low to really no sex drive, headaches, nausea.  i know side effects are different for everyone, but i wanted to let someone else know my problems before they have to deal with them.
