"i have been on nuvaring for four years. 

i had major cycts on my overies when i was younger and was forced to change my birth control medications six times in three years. i was skeptical on taking the depo shot and any iud for fear that i would have cysts develope again. my doctor wanted to conduct an exploratory surgery. i had to try something immediately.  i asked my doctor about the nuvaring. if it didn&#039;t help, i would go through with the surgery. i was constantly in pain and i was fed up with it. i read the information and started my dose. after 24 hours, i felt wonderful. in four years, i haven&#039;t had a cyst. lighter, shorter periods, no weight gain, less acne, healthier skin and hair, and very little pms. i highly recommend it."
