Birth Control
"I&#039;ve been on Nuvaring for four months and don&#039;t plan on going off. I tried the pill, but I have a severe reaction to lactose which all birth control pills contain. It made me bleed constantly and bloat and just feel sad all the time. With this I have none of those symptoms, so I already love it for that. I don&#039;t have to remember a pill. I used to have 5 day heavy periods every six weeks. Now they&#039;re two days, light enough for a liner, and every nine weeks. I&#039;m not gaining weight or bloating. My moods have been stable until I take the ring out for my &#039;period&#039; but that&#039;s normal PMS for me. Sex drive may be decreased but that suits my husband better anyway. It&#039;s defintely not gone completely! It&#039;s never fell out. I love it."
