"i honestly don&#039;t remember how long i&#039;ve been using nuvaring - at least 5 years or more.  i could never remember to take the pills and didn&#039;t like what i heard about the shots.  nuvaring is so convenient, i mark the calendar so i know when to change it.  i rarely have issues with it coming out, if it does it&#039;s always during intercourse and we make sure to find it so it can go back in!  i am naturally a moody person and i love food so i can&#039;t say my mood swings or being overweight can be blamed on nuvaring.  if you want something convenient and you&#039;re comfortable with your body, give it a shot.  my insurance covers 100% otherwise it can be expensive."
