birth control
"I'm a 21 year old female and I recently stopped using Nuvaring.  I must say that I have been feeling so much better since I've been off.  While on Nuvaring, I experienced many negative side effects.  I was EXTREMELY moody every month for 2 weeks out of the month(more so than usual PMS). My body also felt very tired and I had little energy.  I gained about 20 lbs while on it for 6 months.   My libido was very low, putting quite a strain on my relationship with my boyfriend. 



Since being off of Nuvaring, I am back to my normal self.  I know that it will affect people differently, but I would suggest if you begin to feel any of these similar side effects on Nuvaring, stop using it. The side effects do not get better over time."
