New. Would like info on Nuvaring.

Hello. Today I just started back on birth control after a negative experience with Yasmin BCP. I have issues with being too sensitive to the hormones in birth control. Well, DH and I were using a more natural approach to trying to avoid but my cycles were out of control, I had intermittent spotting, and my last cycle was 38 days causing great stress with pregnancy tests and just constant worry for about a week. I finally said I needed to go back on birth control for my sanity and because we are not ready to have another child at this point--I just started back to college and our salaries do not give us the ability to pay for another day care bill--one's enough!
Anyhow, sorry to get off subject there....after talking to my doctor, I decided to try the Nuvaring. I wanted something with a loser dose of hormones to lessen my chance for negative side effects. Also, the idea of only having to replace it once a month is great! With my doctor's guidance, I was able to insert and remove it properly so I am comfortable with that. So far so good but it's only been 3 1/2 hours.
Does anyone here have a Nuvaring and, if so, how do you like it--assuming, of course--you've been on it longer than I? Are there any negative effects you've had with it? I still have 2 more samples but want to be sure it's worth continuing before I need to purchase them.
Thanks again!

*This beautiful siggie and 1-year tag were
i will stay on it another month to see if there are any changes.
does your dr. like it? i was just nervous that it was just the next new thing that the pharmaceutical companies were selling to our drs and we were just the guinea pigs.
what do you think and what does your dr say?
As I mentioned, this is my first month on the ring. i got on it because my periods were so inconsistent with their arrival date - even on the pill. my doctor put my on the ring to see if it could regular their pattern.
i just got my period on thursday - a little later than usual. and the heaviest flow i have had in years. don't know if its because of the ring or not, but its just a different flow.
