"i started using the nuvaring january 2016. at first i thought of it as a worry free bc where i don&#039;t have to worry about taking a pill at a specific time each day. however, as the months of me using it piled up, so did my mood changes, killer cramps from hell, and increased anxiety. i&#039;m depressed all the time, anxious all the time, and i get mad at my boyfriend for no reason at all. he&#039;s asked me to see a counselor. that&#039;s how bad it&#039;s been. i also have a decrease in sex drive, vaginal dryness, and discomfort when having intercourse. i spoke to my gyno about my situation and she suggested leaving the ring in for 4 weeks rather than 3. after reading all these reviews, i decided to take out my ring today and i&#039;m going back to my gyno tomorrow"
