"i have been on nuva ring for over 4 years and it was the best decision i ever made after being on the pill for a few years.  it works fantastic and even if it slips out during sex, you can have it out for up to three hours and still be protected.  i never got pregnant using this method and have been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend the entire time i&#039;ve been on it.  i had no negative side effects and my periods definitely lightened. there are so many mixed reviews that i wanted to say how wonderful this method was for me but reviews can&#039;t tell you anything about how your body will react to hormones.  all you need to do is try it for yourself and if it doesn&#039;t work, try something else."
