"i&#039;ve been on nuva ring for about 6 years. no complaints or side effects. sex drive is good, acne cleared up for the most part, no discomfort, &amp; no weight gain. easy to use &amp; i just set a reminder on my phone to take out every 3 weeks. i used to have awful problems on various birth control pills such as yas and yazmin such as cramps and random spotting. haven&#039;t had these problems since i switched to nuva ring."
