"birth control pills make me extremely nauseous, &amp; the shot made me gain a ton of weight &amp; caused bad acne, so the only method i can use consistently is the nuvaring. it keeps my skin clear, is easy to use, doesn&#039;t bother my husband during sex, and it grew my breasts a cup size. unfortunately, nuvaring makes me so tired that i gained weight due to inactivity since all i want to do is sleep, i suspect it has caused anxiety &amp; depression (although i can&#039;t be sure), and it gives me a terrible headache &amp; nausea the first 3 days i put a new ring in. it dulls my sex drive a bit, but nothing major. i will probably stick with this method for a while unless something better comes around."
