"when i was on the pill, i had a hard time remembering to take it. my dr. told me to try the nuvaring since it was easier to remember. i have now been on it for a year, and i must say; it is a lot easier to remember to change once a month instead of taking a pill everyday. what makes my score not a 10 is the fact that it has dramatically killed my sex drive. i am at the point where i don&#039;t want sex at all and that is affecting my marriage. it has also messed with my energy; it has made me tired all day. i go to bed beyond exhausted and wake up tired. if it wasn&#039;t for those two side effects i would stay on it. i am about to make my yearly &quot;check up&quot; and my going to ask my dr. about the patch....i&#039;ve heard good things about it."
