"i was on the nuvaring for almost 3 years and had mostly great experiences with it. i had little to no spotting, and the initial three month break-in time frame was easy and i had no irregularities.  i only suffered from one issue with nuvaring and it was a side effect i didn&#039;t realize i was suffering from until i stopped using it for the past month (i switched to mirena).  over the course of the almost 3 years that i was on nuvaring, my temper started getting worse and worse.  it wasn&#039;t anything obvious, but now that i&#039;m on mirena i see that nuvaring was contributing to a fair bit of moodiness (but still nowhere near the moodiness i had when on oral birth control). i would definitely recommend the nuvaring."
