"i originally got prescribed the nuvaring because i had horrible menstrual problems but i also now use it as actual birth control as well. it was strange to me at first because of the insertion, but now it&#039;s easier and nothing new. the only thing i&#039;d have to say that i didn&#039;t like at first with this birth control was the nausea, dizziness and mood swing i had within the first (about) three months. i still have mood swings sometimes, but i think it&#039;s just an age thing. i also have not gained any unwanted weight from using this contraceptive, which is a huge thing for me. overall, i&#039;d have to say i really like this birth control and would recommend it to anyone that can handle it."
