"i&#039;m a 21 year old female and i recently stopped using nuvaring.  i must say that i have been feeling so much better since i&#039;ve been off.  while on nuvaring, i experienced many negative side effects.  i was extremely moody every month for 2 weeks out of the month(more so than usual pms). my body also felt very tired and i had little energy.  i gained about 20 lbs while on it for 6 months.   my libido was very low, putting quite a strain on my relationship with my boyfriend. 



since being off of nuvaring, i am back to my normal self.  i know that it will affect people differently, but i would suggest if you begin to feel any of these similar side effects on nuvaring, stop using it. the side effects do not get better over time."
