"i am 19 and used the nuvaring for 5 months. i thought it was perfect! no acne, bigger breasts, don&#039;t have to take every day, only 4 periods a year, helped my mood swings etc. besides a lot more discharge the only downfall (which is a very big deal to me) is that i believe i am starting to gain weight. i am starting to work out more and eat healthier yet still gaining a few pounds. i am quitting the nuvaring before it gets too far out of hand. very sad about it though, this birth control is perfect besides the weight gain."
