"i&#039;ve been on the nuva ring for about 6 years now. never had any problems from beginning to now. i did have horrible cramps my first month using it when my period came but after a few months my body got used to it.. i now only have a period that&#039;s about 3-5 days and i enjoy how it spots right before i take the ring out so i know it&#039;s time for my monthly cycle. it&#039;s easy to insert &amp; you don&#039;t have to think about having to take a pill everyday. i did notice thatwhen i had no health insurance, i went about a month without it; i had gotten my period &amp; it was horribly heavy &amp; terrible cramps. but after restarting everything got back to normal. i never noticed any weight gain or mood changes. my sex drive has stayed the same over all these years."
