"i&#039;ve been on the nuvaring since 2005 and i love it.  no pregnancies, my period shortened from about 7 days to 4 days.  i also used to have bad cramps but this helped a lot.  i&#039;ve tried ortho tri-cyclen (hated it, gained a lot of weight that took many years to take off), tri-norinyl (liked this but still had to take a pill everyday), paraguard iud (hurt for the 1st week then was fine, expelled it after 3 months though).  my sex drive did not decrease on nuvaring.  my only complaint is my skin is a little worse and every once in a while i have to take it out during sex.  thumbs up from my boyfriend and myself."
