(1) Alice, I use the NuvaRing. I have used it for 2 months now and I can honestly say that it's much better than the Pill. I was on the pill prior to the Ring and I was getting regular breakthrough bleeding with it because my body got used to the doses of the hormones. It was so bad that I would set my phone alarm to go off at the same time every day so I could take the pill and still got the bleeding. This was not normal and I discussed it with my OBGYN. He recommended the Ring and I have been very satisfied with it. My partner can't feel it and neither can I. Just thought you'd like to hear from someone who is actually using and LOVING the Ring.

[back to top] Have been very pleased with NuvaRing. I'm on my 4th cycle with it, and it has not presented any problems with intercouse, and it has never come out accidentally. I'm not experiencing the mood swings that I did with a tri-phasic low-dose pill, and my periods are pretty light. Libido may be decreased slightly from normal (we were using natural methods for a couple of years), but not nearly as significantly as with the pill.
