"i have been using nuvaring for a couple years now and so far it&#039;s been great! without some form of birth control i&#039;m a roller coaster of emotions and nuvaring has really helped balance my hormones and keep my cycle on a 28 day schedule. i have also noticed a significant reduction in cramps and much lighter periods. my only concern is that it&#039;s not going to be effective against pregnancy, but i have been using it as the directions instruct so i guess only time will tell, but they say it&#039;s just as effective as the oral pill. my boyfriend has commented that he can feel it, but it doesn&#039;t seem to be that big of a deal for us so far."
