"i&#039;ve been on the nuvaring for 7 years. i got it when i was 18 because i didn&#039;t want to take a pill everyday and i was scared the shot would make me gain weight. i love my nuvaring besides the fact that it has killed my sex drive. thats the only downside i&#039;ve experienced. so if that doesn&#039;t bother you then i highly suggest it. it cleared up my face of acne, i didn&#039;t gain any weight, it shortened my period to be about 3 days long and is very light, no extra moodiness or anxiety. the perk of it is you can skip a month in between your periods. i put it in for 3 weeks, take it out and have a period. then the next month i take it out and put a new one in at the same time on the 4th week. i hope this helps anyone considering it."
