"i&#039;ve been on it for more than 3 months. it&#039;s been really great; and is great for &quot;first time&quot; birth control because it&#039;s easy to use and a very low dose - less than 1/3rd of a normal pill dosage. while on nuvaring, i&#039;ve experienced:
effectiveness, no pregnancies - even when used with any type of lubricant. able to use continuously to skip periods (which i love). larger breasts (went from a c to a full d)
light break-through bleeding, typically for one day when i change the nuvaring. cramping, which can be very painful. personally i think it&#039;s linked to constipation, which can last a few days. taking a cheap otc laxative helps relieve both constipation and cramps. small weight gain, mainly in breasts and hips. my waist is the same size."
