Birth Control
"I&#039;ve only been using the ring for a while, so I feel a little too biased to give it a perfect rating.  That said, I am (so far) satisfied with this form of birth control.  I&#039;ve only experienced mild cramping since first using it (cramps while off my period), but nothing near unbearable.  No weight gain, no acne, no noticeable change in my sex-drive, etc. In fact, I was on the pill before switching to the ring.  On the pill, I had constant, heavy discharge.  Since switching to NuvaRing, the discharge has stopped!  And it is much, much easier than remembering a pill every day.  The ring does come out during intercourse, but it&#039;s no biggie: I just rinse it in cool water and reinsert it afterward.  No complaints about this ring from me. "
