"i&#039;ve been on nuvaring for about 3 months. it is by the far my favorite form of birth control. i was on some form of the pill for the 5 years prior to this year and i had all sorts of problems with them. i love the convenience of nuvaring and only having to remember it once a month. i was concerned about how nuvaring would affect my tendency to acne and am pleasantly surprised that it is working the same as most pills and i have not had a problem with acne. there are a couple down sides to it though, no sex drive and tendency to gain weight. i am able to deal with the weight gain and adjust my lifestyle to where it is not a problem. however the decrease in sex drive is quite irritating for both my husband and myself."
