"i started using nuvaring a year ago and finally decided to take it out a month ago. it was my boyfriend who finally pointed out that maybe my extreme mood swings that coincidentally started when i began using the ring could be attributed to it. i would cry and become angry literally every time i had my period, i have always been somewhat emotional when my period started but never like i have been in the past year. i started using it right when we began dating, and i attributed my extreme dryness to getting older (i&#039;m 21). right when i took it out i was back to normal again. pro&#039;s: my breasts grew a cup size, my face was clear, and i loved not having to think about taking a pill every day. con&#039;s: no sex drive, dryness, crazy mood swings."
