"i was on nuvaring for 8 months. starting in january, it was great, i was mostly acne free and wasn&#039;t having too many mood swings. at about june, my acne became cystic, extremely painful and i could barely move my face without pain. i gained 20 lbs and could not lose it with dieting and working out. i took it out two days ago because i&#039;m positive that things will change."
