birth control
"The Nuvaring is the only birth control that has been able to stop my (terrible) breakthrough bleeding. On the regular pill, I was grateful to have eight or nine days without spotting; it was a miracle. I wore a tampon or liner everyday of the month, month after month, year after year, in fear of having breakthrough bleeding. I've been on at least six different pills with different hormone levels, and other than weight gain and depression, the pill had no effect on me. The NuvaRing has completely stopped the breakthrough bleeding. I've been on it for a year and never once had any breakthrough (after more than 10 years of it). I had no weight gain or mood swings, and never even notice it in there. I am so grateful for it."
