"initially i was excited to use this birth control. it was paid for 100% by my insurance. lasts 3 years, no chance of user error, it sounded like the real deal. i immediately had terrible acne breakouts (face, chest, back), emotional changes, intense hunger, and reduced sex drive. i thought i&#039;d wait and see if anything improved. after a year, my acne isn&#039;t quite as bad, but i&#039;ve gained 15 pounds and my sex drive is still low. i am getting it out this week and going back to nuvaring. i did enjoy not getting a period for a year, and not having to remember to take anything was convenient. however, i&#039;m getting married this summer. i don&#039;t want people staring at my acne and excess weight! i want them gone."
