"i have been on nuvaring for one year now. overall, i like it. my experience is as follows: i heard that i could bleed irregularly at first. the entire first month was a very long, miserable period. i heard that it could make me emotional. boy was that an understatement. granted, i was going through a tough time in my relationship; the hormone changes ultimately forced the demise of it. i was borderline suicidal for the second month of using nuvaring. luckily, month 3 i was almost back to the right levels of hormones and my period was coming 3 days after i took the ring out. the last few months have been weird because it comes 4 or so days after removing it. perk: insurance covered it and saved me all $108 it cost each month!"
