"yesterday i stopped using nuvaring for the 2nd time. the first time i quit i wasn&#039;t sure if it was the ring causing my depression or just the things going on in my life at the time. a year later i went back on it because i became more sexually active and i loved not having periods and the clear skin it gave me. the first 2 months it gave me horribly sore boobs, i also noticed i was a little moody but thought it would go away once i regulated after 3 months. 7 months in and i&#039;m a full blown basket case with life ruining depression and anxiety. i&#039;m mad i was on denial that nuvaring was causing it for so long. do your relationship/mental health a favor, do not use nuvaring. i feel so bad for my boyfriend for putting up with me for so long."
