"i use birth control mainly because i have irregular periods. i switched from the nuvaring (not sure if the bad mood swings, multiple yeast/uti infections, and insanely low sex drive were because of the ring or because of a really bad relationship), and it&#039;s been great. i really dislike the 3 hour window (i forget pills). but i&#039;m giving it a 9 because i haven&#039;t had any of the side effects that tend to come with other methods. i feel really great and aside from light spotting, i can&#039;t really tell that i&#039;m on the pill. if you don&#039;t mind using backup methods with sex then it could be really awesome to use."
