"I originally went on the NuvaRing a year ago, and thought that it was drastically changing my moods, making me extremely emotional, causing me to cry all the time for no reason but I may have been wrong. I went off of it twice for month or two at a time, and during those times, my acne came back a little (not bad because my skin is naturally pretty clear when not PMSing/on my period, but was visible nonetheless), and I was actually more emotional, had a lower libido, etc. I'm starting to think that the regular stresses of life just hit me around the same time I started it and I mistook it for the ring. In reality it does wonders for acne, & is so convenient but everyone is different. Main con was hair loss. Great method overall."
