Birth Control
"A very simple birth control to use.. I couldn&#039;t remember pills so I was on the ring for almost 3 years (I&#039;m now 29).  My sex drive has been reduced to nothing, except late in my period, not coincidentally when the ring has been out the longest.  My periods are short, only about 2 1/2 days of light flow, but the cramps start 2 days before that and last right up til I put the next ring in.  Worst of all is the depression and mood swings.  I have a great life, but when my husband asks what I want for lunch, that has been enough to reduce me to literal tears lately. Also, I&#039;ve gained nearly 40 pounds despite being more active than ever.  I just came back from the gyno and got a copper (non-hormonal IUD) inserted today."
