"i started the nuvaring about 3 years ago. at first i had some pretty terrible mood swings and migraines. i did also gain a small amount of weight. within 3 months of going on it my acne got significantly worse, but then completely cleared up in 5-6 months! the trick with this birth control is to definitely give it time. my headaches and moodiness lessened (now i just get a bit emotional around my period) and my sex drive has returned to normal. pros: super convenient, light 2 day periods, bigger breasts, helped clear skin. cons: takes a long time to adjust, slight weight gain, headaches, occasional moodiness."
