"i have been very pleased with the nuvaring. i have been on it for 3 months now. i have had no real bad side effects. when i first started it i did have some discharge that was more than normal but that stopped pretty much after the first week or 2. i noticed that i do retain water but that is to be expected. i have had no real mood swings as opposed to the pill. i was a little nervous to get on nuvaring because it stays in the vagina for 3 weeks and i had read about vaginal infections but so far i am happy with it! i am not currently sexually active (i am getting married in august and wanted to try birth control methods) so i don&#039;t know if my husband will feel it but i love it!"
