I  do not suggest this birth control at all, it really messed me up!  I switched to nuvaring because I am not very good at taking a pill at the same time everyday.  But after about 2 months I had to take it out and go back to loestrin 24 (very good birth control!) Nuvaring made me very depressed.  I am a usually happy, social college student and nuvaring made me reclusive and sad all the time.  I sat in my dorm room all day doing nothing.  I would call my friend and start crying for no reason at all.  I haven't felt the same since.
