birth control
"I have been on Nuvaring for 6 years now. I got on it when I was 18 and now I am 24. No major side effects- I think my small weight gain was due to college more than Nuvaring. The only problems I have had were when I forgot to put the new ring in after 7 days. The first time I did this I was 3 days overdue on putting it in. I consulted my doctor's nurse and she said it would be okay to leave it out that month and restart as normal the next month. I was fine until I put it back in the next month. I got migraines and extreme nausea. It was terrible. "
