wow. amaaaazing responses to the original post. Geesh embarrassed for some of you.
So, yeah, I use the ring.
NuvaRing: The Once-a-Month Birth Control
I like it. At first there was some odd discharge, not something I liked, but now it's settled down....not sure that's the right way to put it, but I don't have the discharge any longer and the ring is simple, safe and since I'm also a condom girl with a new partner, I like the freedom of being able to not use the condom if we decide to move forward.
The ring also has the added bonus of lighter periods. That alone is worth the effort of keeping track of when to remove, add new and so on.
Sorry such bitches on this site. Sigh. How easy is it to simply NOT read something if it's already been covered, but oh, I forgot for some people being a bitch to a complete stranger is FUN and free therapy.
