birth control
"I was 18 when I used this. The only problem I had with it was emotional side effects. Bear in mind every birth control affects everyone differently. However I didn't even realize how bad it was getting until my boyfriend and I almost broke up because I was freaking out and over reacting to everything. It was awful. Oh and my breasts got bigger. But that was a positive thing. 
I loved the NuvaRing because it was convenient. I switched from an IUD so I didn't want something that I had to take all the time like the pill (like most women). I didn't have any physical cramps or spotting and I left it in during sex and it never came out. Very useful. 
I don't recommend you skip your period with this. It makes the emotional issues worse."
