"i really love the nuvaring. i never noticed any symptoms or side effects and have been using it for about 5 years. i really like that i can do the extended cycling so i can skip periods. i also used to have very unpredictable periods and getting on nuvaring makes them very reliable. i would recommend it over the pill anytime because it is a lot less hassle and you don&#039;t have to remember every day. that makes me feel really protected. it is great but it also can be a bit costly if you don&#039;t have good/any insurance or the ability to get it through planned parenthood program."
