"i have been using nuva ring for 6 months now after switching from the pill for 5 years. i have mixed emotions about nuva ring. i love the fact that it is very convenient and i never have to worry about taking a pill on time every day. i hardly have to thinkg about and most of the time i don&rsquo;t feel the ring at all, occasionally it slips down and i just have to push it back up- not a big deal. my periods actually seem heavier and last longer than what i experienced with the pill. i&rsquo;m hoping with continued use, they won&rsquo;t be as bad. also, nuva ring is pretty expensive, i wish there was a generic version on the market. the biggest draw back for me is my diminished sex drive. my fianc&eacute; and i went from having sex at least 4-5 times a week to maybe once a week and that&rsquo;s because i force myself to. i&rsquo;m seriously considering switching back to the pill solely because of this. other than the decreased sex drive, i haven&rsquo;t experienced any other side effects like weight gain or moodiness."
