"i am just finishing up my first month of using nuvaring. it is obviously a very convenient method of birth control. as far as side effects go, i am a little bloated, my breasts grew about half a cup, and i have had some spotting- which i expected for the first month. i noticed a little more hair coming out when i shower, as did my hair dresser. i took multivitamins and noticed an improvement within a week. i lost about a pound a week so far without changing my old diet or workout routine, but that&#039;s not a complaint. my partner said it doesn&#039;t bother him, and i can&#039;t feel it in there! i would recommend it."
