S.:
Birth controls SUCK don't they!!!!!! I feel your pain!
I have been on the ring for over a year and my sis has been on it for 2 yrs. My cousin has been on it for like 3 yrs. I have 2 children. The other two have none. They both love and swear by the ring. I really like it too with the exception that I sometimes have minor side-effects due to the hormone being to low. We are upping the hormone by me switching to a low-hormone (but more than the ring) pill.
I just wanted to tell you that you really need to give the ring 6 mos to regulate in your body, esp. since you just came off mirena. If the ring is not working well after 6 mos, then I would consider another option but most drs. actually prefer the ring or the mirena because they are low hormone and thus, the best for the body. Obviously the mirena messed your cycle up so give the ring time to "mellow out" your body. I have a feeling you will like it quite a bit more after 6 mos. My sis and cousin swear by it and i liked it too except that it just was not enough hormone for me personally to always keep me symptom free.
Good luck!
