"i&#039;ve been on the nuvaring for about 5 years and it has been awesome! i had no side effects, normal periods. although my boyfriend could feel it sometimes while we were having sex but it wasn&#039;t painful for either of us so it wasn&#039;t a big deal.  i like it too because when my boyfriend was deployed for months at a time i could stay off it and put a ring in a few weeks before he was coming back. i would highly recommend it!"
