"i was 18 when i used this. the only problem i had with it was emotional side effects. bear in mind every birth control affects everyone differently. however i didn&#039;t even realize how bad it was getting until my boyfriend and i almost broke up because i was freaking out and over reacting to everything. it was awful. oh and my breasts got bigger. but that was a positive thing. 
i loved the nuvaring because it was convenient. i switched from an iud so i didn&#039;t want something that i had to take all the time like the pill (like most women). i didn&#039;t have any physical cramps or spotting and i left it in during sex and it never came out. very useful. 
i don&#039;t recommend you skip your period with this. it makes the emotional issues worse."
