"i have only good things to say, just a little bad note about stopping. i started using birth control because of heavy and very painful menstrual cycles. i first was on the pill, and i was spotting almost every day for months. my doctor suggested the ring, and things were great then after. i was on the ring for about a year and decided to stop. after birth control, i had finally become regular. about a year ago i decided to start birth control again because i was becoming more sexually active. i went immediately to the ring again, this time choosing to not have a period, and i love it! no periods or spotting."
