"i have been on nuvaring since january 2010 and love the convenience. of course i experience many side effects, such as headache, cramps, breast tenderness, bloating, breakthrough bleeding (first month only) and feeling pregnant all the time. after 4 months it came out for the first time during sex. it hurt for a bit then i had light bleeding. i would recommend nuvaring because of convenience and as with most birth control there are always going to be side effects."
