Hi,

I don't actually take the oral birth control, I have NuvaRing. It's a ring that you insert in your vagina, and leave there for a month. You take it out and you bleed. Put another one back in and repeat. My dr put me on it because I was concerned about side effects--some of the oddest stuff puts me to sleep. It's really low dose, which means I'll have a lower chance of side effects. I love it. It's convenient.

I've found that it doesn't really affect my moods that much. Just a tiny bit, but it's not by and far. I've heard some horror stories, though. But I thought I'd share my 2 cents
