"i have debilitating chronic migraine, have suffered for many years. many triggers, but worst was change in hormones with menstrual cycle. my gynecologist recommended nuvaring and it has been amazing. i use it constantly - no off week. 3 weeks in, then swap in another ring straight away. it did take 4-5 months for my body to adjust to it, had lots of breakthrough bleeding. to solve that, dr had me use very low dose patch to just up my hormone levels a tiny bit more. 2 months of those, problem solved. no bleeding at all and no menstrual migraine! before they were always my most intense and could last for a week or more. what a relief to not suffer monthly. no side effects for me."
