Hey guys,

This is kinda a random question, but anyway. I was diagnosed with depression in September, and I went on meds, and I am now in remission. I feel so much better. However, I am now considering birth control methods, and I'm a little worried. I know I don't want to take the pill, because I think it would have too much impact on my emotions. However, I was looking at the Ring, and I was wondering since the hormones are more localized would the emotional impact be less?

Really you'd have to try it (anything) to see how things went.
