"i have been using the nuvaring for almost a year now and i absolutely love it. i keep mine in for the entire month and usually replace it without allowing myself to have a period. i feel as if the pros definitely out way the cons. it has proven to be 100% effective and it is so convenient for my crazy schedule. i have experienced around 25 pounds of weight gain. i was only around 110lbs when i started this birth control so the weight gain looks healthy. my breasts are very tender most of the time and they have doubled in size. i am a little more tired then usual and sometimes have dizzy spells. i do think it is very convient not having to worry about taking a pill everyday and i feel very healthy. my sex drive hasn&#039;t suffered much either!"
