"i started nuvaring 3 months ago and really enjoy it compared to the pill. i was formerly in loloestrinfe and had horrible horrible mood swings and a complete disappearance of libido. on nuvaring, my sex drive has somewhat returned (of course not as much as if i wasn&#039;t in birth control), it&#039;s easier for me to &quot;get there&quot;, and i don&#039;t have pms nearly as bad. it&#039;s not perfect but definite improvement for me. however i will say i&#039;ve had minor weight gain, and some minor hair loss. honestly, i prefer those side effects over the moods i was feeling whilst on the pill. hoping that with continued usage, the side effects go away as i&#039;ve only been on this for 3 months. even better that my insurance covers it 100%!"
