"i was on nuvaring for 3 months. as far as positives go it was easy to use and i did not get pregnant. also, i was able to lose/maintain my weight (something i could not do while i was on yaz for almost 2 years). however, i had spotting for around 20 days, which is something that&#039;s normal for me when i first go on birth control. but the deal breaker for me was how crazy emotional i got. i cried at least every day which is not normal for me, and a little after i went off of the nuvaring that went away. one of my friends is on it and doesn&#039;t have this problem; everyone&#039;s body is different; if that didn&#039;t happen to me i would definitely still be on nuvaring."
