I've been using NuvaRing in the past and I was most content, so when getting a new long term partner now it was my first choice. I'm currently on my 4th ring. 1st month was messy due to prolonged bleeding, but now I'm not having any side effects except vaginal dryness, which became pretty prominent and has very negative impact on my sex life. Aside of that, I'm very happy with this method (cumulative 5 years of experience)

I use the Nuvaring and overall have been happy with it. I used to be on the combined pill mycrogynon and had very bad pms with it but my pms is definitely more manageable on the ring. The only negative for me is that I have endometriosis and it doesn’t stop my periods when I put another ring in straight away and does nothing to reduce the pelvic pain I get.

It was a nice. Since it was there for the whole month I didn't forget to take like I used to do with pills. Therefore I didn't experience the mood swings and other side effects of taking pills irregular. I didn't feel nothing there and the lighter periods are very well welcomed.
