"nuvaring seemed like the perfect option for me. i&#039;m a college student, so life can be crazy and i never know where i&#039;m going to be at what time of day i used to like to take the pill. the first month wasn&#039;t too bad, but after that i started noticing some serious changes. i started feeling tired almost all the time, even after 9 hours of sleep. my sex drive decreased to nothing. if i wasn&#039;t wanting to have sex, then what&#039;s the point of taking birth control and paying so much for it every month. i started having really bad effects on my emotions. i would go from being happy to sad within a second. it was nothing for me to randomly start tearing up for no reason. i never had this problem on the pill. i&#039;m switching back."
