Wow, this is an old thread. I used the ring for a year when I was 19/20. I loved it and I don't remember any side effects. I know that I still had a very healthy sex drive. Now about 3 years later I'm back on the ring. I was off BC for a while then on Yasmin for a year - off BC for about 6 months and I've been back on the ring for 3 months now. On Yasmin I didn't really notice much except a huge decrease in my sex drive and I gained some weight. Back on the ring I haven't really noticed any side effects, but there's a lot going on in my life right now, lots of stress and huge changes, so the mood swings could be from either the BC or the changes. Since I'm not sure I'm going to stick with the ring for the rest of my prescription to see what happens. I hope I don't have all the issues everyone else has mentioned. But I can say that my period is much shorter on the ring and my cramps aren't nearly as bad as they used to be. That's part of why I went back to it, plus I hate taking a pill everyday.
I'll have to look into the IUDs. I know they are expensive so that's why I never got one before.
