"i started nuvaring about 4 months ago as an alternative to mirena (i have not had a child). i don&#039;t mind the insertion or taking it out during sex. switching from generic yaz to nuvaring has been a great experience! i used to spot on the pill mid-cycle pretty much every month. haven&#039;t had any issues with nuvaring! i decided to skip my ring-free week for vacation one of the months and did not have any breakthrough bleeding."
