"i&#039;m using my first nuvaring, and so far, all is well.  i have pcos and therefore need birthcontrol to have regular periods.  i had big  issues with the pil (yasmin) and stopped using it.  after 3 months with no period (and a pregnancy scare!) i decided it was time to buck up and take care of myself.  i asked my np about it, and she agreed it would be a good plan to treat my pcos, as well to prevent pregnancy,  i&#039;m on my second week and so far i haven&#039;t gained weight, but actually  lost 5 pounds without trying.  i haven&#039;t experienced any symptoms other than that, and my skin is noticably clearer, i haven&#039;t had one pimple on my face since i&#039;ve inserted it, and my chest and back are clearer.  i would recommend it for sure!"
