"i was on the pill before nuva ring and the pill made me moody and cry a lot. i&#039;m definitely not one to be emotional. so i tried nuva ring now 8 months later i still love it. i really like that i can put it in and forget it for a month. i can skip periods if i want. although i&#039;ve found i can 2 months without a period but then i have to do the period thing so i don&#039;t get breakthrough bleeding. i&#039;m also very much in control if i decided one day i didn&#039;t want it anymore i&#039;d just take it out. i haven&#039;t had any weight gain. when i do get my period it&#039;s short and light. the only con i had was i lost sex drive for about 5 months.  it&#039;s returned though so i&#039;m happy. everyone is different but i&#039;d highly suggest giving nuva ring a try!"
