"inserting and retrieving the nuva ring takes some getting used to but after a few tries, you&#039;ll get the hang of it. the side effects, however, were so overwhelming i stopped using the nuva ring after 2 months.  the positives were i didn&#039;t have to think about it everyday and normally i have acne but on nuva ring i didn&#039;t experience break outs. the negatives were my mood. i was irritable, depressed and cranky after about a week on the ring. generally i&#039;m mild tempered,  sweet and forgiving. not on nuva ring. i was overly emotional; crying, yelling, grumpy, annoyed. it was affecting my quality of life so i removed it. i&#039;ve been off of it for over a week now and feel like my goofy playful self again.  i&#039;ll never go back. its not worth it."
