"in the past year, i&#039;ve tried 7 different birth controls. pills, patches...you name it, i&#039;ve been on it. i&#039;ve never had any true issues with any weight gain on bc, but i am very prone to yeast infections. i got them almost every other week. after switching to the ring, i haven&#039;t had any and it&#039;s been fantastic! i&#039;d definitely recommend this!"
