"i am 20 years old and i was never fond of using any type of birth control because i was only in serious relationships my entire life. i have two children both from c-sections under the age of two. before my second child i tried the nuvaring- let me just say i was very moody. also after intercourse it literally stung for about five minutes. after i discontinued using nuvaring the stinging cleared up. my doctors gave me loestrin 24, it is a miracle pill. it is definitely better than the symptoms of pregnancy. it feels like i&#039;m not even on a pill. i take mine at night also i used to be real constipated so it helps with that.
