"I started using the Nuvaring January 2016. At first I thought of it as a worry free BC where I don't have to worry about taking a pill at a specific time each day. However, as the months of me using it piled up, so did my mood changes, killer cramps from hell, and increased anxiety. I'm depressed all the time, anxious all the time, and I get mad at my boyfriend for no reason at all. He's asked me to see a counselor. That's how bad it's been. I also have a decrease in sex drive, vaginal dryness, and discomfort when having intercourse. I spoke to my gyno about my situation and she suggested leaving the ring in for 4 weeks rather than 3. After reading all these reviews, I decided to take out my ring today and I'm going back to my gyno tomorrow"
