"i have been on the nuvaring since i was 16; i&#039;m 25 now. it really is the best thing i have tried. the only side effects i have experienced are breast tenderness, being really dry or really wet at times and possible uti&#039;s. although i&#039;m still unsure of that because i have gotten uti&#039;s for as long as i could remember. i got off it recently because my doctor prescribed me a pill with less hormones but i felt the difference right away. i didn&#039;t feel myself at all. i&#039;m giving my body a break for a month or two and will probably go back on the ring."
