"i originally went on the nuvaring a year ago, and thought that it was drastically changing my moods, making me extremely emotional, causing me to cry all the time for no reason but i may have been wrong. i went off of it twice for month or two at a time, and during those times, my acne came back a little (not bad because my skin is naturally pretty clear when not pmsing/on my period, but was visible nonetheless), and i was actually more emotional, had a lower libido, etc. i&#039;m starting to think that the regular stresses of life just hit me around the same time i started it and i mistook it for the ring. in reality it does wonders for acne, &amp; is so convenient but everyone is different. main con was hair loss. great method overall."
