"i have used nuvaring for the past three years.  prior to the ring i used different birth control pills (ortho, yasmin), all of which my body did not respond well to, as i gained weight and felt like i had weird mood swings.  since i went on nuvaring i have not experienced weight gain and i have not felt any abnormal mood swings.  i have never had the ring fall out and my periods are normal and consistent.  with my last boyfriend i could keep the ring in and sex was fine, although on rare occasions he could feel it.  with my current boyfriend i take it out when we have sex because we can both feel it.
