"i am 22 years old, no children. i have been using nuvaring for approximately 2 1/2 years. i love it. i have never had an issue with weight gain or acne. it is very easy to remember, just a reminder on my phone twice a month. once to take it out, and a week later to replace it with a new one. the changing process is not gross or uncomfortable. very mild cramping when it is period week, but the periods only last 2-3 days. i would recommend it to anyone i know."
