"i have been on the nuva ring for exactly a year and i have stopped it for good. it is definitely very convenient, however i developed severe mood swings and anxiousness while on this form of birth control. i am a very positive/motivated person with absolutely no history of anxiety or depression. after being on this, i would catch myself crying for absolutely no reason, especially while drinking alcohol! i also lost about 10-15 pounds. i am about to start &quot;lolo&quot; which is advertised as a lower dosage. 
pros: lost weight, regulated acne, low maintenance
cons: increased anxiety and emotions"
