I'm 20 now and started taking the pill when i was 15 and hated it! I never noticed any horrible side effects from it, but it was such a pain to take everyday, nor was I good at it.
At the begining of this year i got into a serious relationship and had my yearly ob gyn appointment shortly after that. I then decided I needed to change my bc method because I DID NOT want any accidental "slip-ups" so my doctor recomended the nuva ring. I've been taking it for about 7 months now and HATE it!! I've always been a very positive, happy-go-lucky person, however, the nuva ring has turned me into an emotional, bitch. In my whole life I could count on one hand how many people have seen me cry, ever, now i find myself breaking down a couple times a week and snapping at my boyfriend for the dumbest things. It's ruining our relationship. I would give the nuva 5 stars for convenience but it's not worth the side effect. I hate the person its turned me into and am getting off of it asap. My boyfriend also hates the way it feels, good news as far as that goes though is you can take it out as long as you put it back in within three hours. I've also never been a dry person until I started taking nuva, which makes sex uncomfortable. At 20 years old I shouldn't need lube, its embarassing. So although there are benefits to nuva, the bad most definitely out weighs the good! not worth the side effects or cost
