birth control
"No one is the same and NuvaRing obviously works for some but it did not for me. I'm on my third month and just took it out for good. It put me in a permanent funk..and by that I mean constantly paranoid or sad and I would also be upset with my boyfriend over nothing. I hadn't been on BC at all for about 2 years before. Without birth control I do get PMS the week before my period which was toned down by the ring but it feels like it just spread it out to a more mild PMS the whole time (terrible!). My sex drive was noticeably diminished to the point where I didn't even want to have sex sometimes (and that NEVER happens lol). Overall, good for acne and regulating the period but not worth the emotional instability and sex drive effects."
