"i&#039;ve been taking the nuva ring off and on for about 5 years. it&#039;s my preferred birth control. i barely have any side effects other than my breast enlarging quit a bit. what i don&#039;t like about nuva ring is it can be difficult to insert and remove. it takes a little tweaking to get it in the right place. sometimes i feel gross having to insert it with my bare fingers. i decided to take a break from the ring because the insurance only approves one monthly and it&#039;s annoying having to go to the pharmacy every month for just one ring."
