"i started nuvaring about 3 months ago. before that i had tried two different birth control pills that gave me every possible side effect. i gained 15 pounds, was depressed, angry, had constant headaches, extreme fatigue and for the first time in my life i had cramps!(i had never had cramps before! not even when i got my period for the first time!) i finally went to back to my care provider and picked up some nuvaring. i noticed changes for the better right away. im back to my normal self, waking up early, going biking, hiking, and cooking again! i no longer have cramps and im no longer depressed! i even lost 10 pounds!!! (possibly a coincidence...) i wish i could have found the right pill to go on, but nuvaring has treated me well :)"
