"i started using this product after my 1st child was born at age 19, at first i was a bit nervous about the side effects and all but after a few months of using it i was relieved of how awesome it worked.  i had no side effects, no weight gain, my periods where regular, except that my partner was able to feel it which was no problem. anyhow i&#039;m going to 4 years of using the nuvaring and i&#039;ve started to get many side effects, from many headaches to low sex drive and a lot of breast tenderness. i&#039;m really disappointed in having to change my birth control because it was so easy to use and i never had a problem with it at all."
