"love nuvaring! i have had the ring for 3  years and wouldn&#039;t want any other kind of birth control now. i took the pill for a while and i always cramped really bad and my periods varied from crazy bad to light and easy. now i have a regular period and my migraines are gone and i hardly ever cramp. i have about a 4 day period and not heavy at all! only down fall is right before my period there is a little discharge but a little liner is all i need, and tell your man you have it.
