"i loved the nuva ring! i switch to it after being on yasmin &amp; seeing all of the scary commercials about it (which i liked too, but i&#039;m a hypochondriac). i liked the fact that i just put it in &amp; didn&#039;t have to worry about it for 3 weeks &amp; i always started my period on the same day which was very helpful! i think i gained about 10 lbs while taking it, but i don&#039;t think that was due to the birth control, my husband also never noticed it during sex, added bonus;) i wish i could take it while breastfeeding, but my doctor doesn&#039;t recommend it. overall, i loved it!"
