"i have been on nuvaring for the better part of 3 years.  at first it was great, of course, with the appeal of not having to remember to take a pill everyday. from the get-go, i noticed some pretty mild side effects, mainly hypersensitivity during the week of and leading up to my period. i would fall into hysterics a lot, and alienate myself from people and not know why.

today i&#039;ve reached the apex of my tolerance with this birth control. i feel sad and anxious the majority of the time. i can&#039;t sleep, i can&#039;t relax, all i want to do is cry. i&#039;m normally a really fun, and outgoing person."
