"i find the nuvaring  to be very effective.  i had tried a variety of different pills, but i experienced terrible mood swings on most.  i like the nuvaring because it does not cause me to experience  those  mood  swings, i have lighter and shorter periods and it is convenient  not to have to take a pill everyday.  the only con i&#039;ve experienced is that it can sometimes come out during sex or be bothersome to my partner during sex.  i would recommend this if you are having difficulty with pills and are not ready to try an iud."
