Out of curiosity, how long has the ring been on the market?

Depends on where you live. I believe it's been out in the US for around 4 years.
The ingredients of the ring are the same as most monophasic birth control pills--that is to say they are the same levels of synthetic estrogen and progesterone. Because of the way they are released into the body, they are a more steady dosage of hormone which allows for a lower level of hormone to be released. That could be causing some mood swings.
