Birth Control
"NuvaRing is the only birth control I&#039;ve ever used (other than condoms) and so far I like it. It&#039;s a simple process to put it in and take it out and I love that I don&#039;t have to stress about it every day. I used to have unpredictable periods so I LOVE knowing when it&#039;s coming every month. Negatives. I have experienced some serious PMS symptoms since I&#039;ve been on the ring (not every time but I think it&#039;s getting more frequent) like irritability and general emotionalness, some pretty severe cramps (which I rarely got before), and tiredness. Recently, I had a super heavy flow during my period plus cramps. I&#039;ve been getting some headaches and back pain too but I&#039;m not sure it&#039;s because of the ring. I&#039;ve been on NuvaRing for about 6 months now."
