"well, with what i have noticed with the nuvaring is that i&#039;m having horrible mood swings. i&#039;ve been on birth control for years and i&#039;ve had to switch at least 4 times now. i&#039;m going to give this a try for the next month, but my relationship with my boyfriend of 3 years now is on the rocks because of my depression spells. i am tired and have no interest in anything it seems. i have taken this type before but it has been years and i don&#039;t remember my symptoms, i do enjoy not having to remember to take a small pill everyday, but i feel better when i&#039;m not on any type of birth control. so like others said - this could be just my reaction and what it does to me- who knows."
