"i was on the nuva ring for approx 9 months, and feel so good that i&#039;ve cleansed myself of it.. i became depressed to the point of wanting to place myself in an institution at times, had a massive fight with loved ones, put on 8kg, lost my passion for life, was always tired, needing to eat all the time... need i go on?so i went back on the pill for 2 months following, before my sister in law convinced me to try other contraceptive methods such as condoms with my supportive (yet freaked out at first by the idea) fianc&eacute;. for 2 mnth i thought i was going to lose it with anxiety from &#039;coming down&#039;, but i am pleased to report i&#039;ve never felt better in my life, and my partner doesn&#039;t even know he&#039;s wearing a condom! he literally has to check!"
