"i have been on nr for over a year. i absolutely love it and plan to stay on it until we&#039;re ready for children. virtually no side effects except for a little dryness/itchiness at the beginning. it stays in place. i only have my period every three months or so and its very short. (my physician recommended that i leave it in during the &quot;period week&quot;). my migraines are much less frequent. it stopped my ovarian cysts. my fianc&eacute; tells me he can feel it sometimes but doesn&#039;t bother him at all. easiest birth control i have ever been on. i feel great and it works."
