"i&#039;ve been on nuvaring for 6 years. i was on the pill before which didn&#039;t work for me. nuvaring is awesome because i have a period every 9 weeks. periods are easy. but it worries me being on birth control this long. it also has hurt me being on too especially. kills my sex drive. i don&#039;t know if it has affected my weight or that was just myself. i&#039;ve been on it so long."
