I am on Nuva Ring and love it. The first day of your period you insert the ring and keep it in for 3 weeks, then you have one ring free week and that is when you get your period. I haven't had any side effects which is good cuz other types of birth control (the pill) made me sick. Downside is that is costs about $55.00 without insurance! So you would be spending that each month. I have medicaid which covers it.
