"no one is the same and nuvaring obviously works for some but it did not for me. i&#039;m on my third month and just took it out for good. it put me in a permanent funk..and by that i mean constantly paranoid or sad and i would also be upset with my boyfriend over nothing. i hadn&#039;t been on bc at all for about 2 years before. without birth control i do get pms the week before my period which was toned down by the ring but it feels like it just spread it out to a more mild pms the whole time (terrible!). my sex drive was noticeably diminished to the point where i didn&#039;t even want to have sex sometimes (and that never happens lol). overall, good for acne and regulating the period but not worth the emotional instability and sex drive effects."
