"i switched to nuvaring 4 yeas ago from orthotricyclen. i&#039;ve had absolutely no side effects, and it&#039;s the easiest form of birth control i&#039;ve ever taken. my periods are lighter is the only thing i&#039;ve noticed. it&#039;s unfortunate that i&#039;m seeing so many bad experiences on here - i honestly recommend it to all my girlfriends."
