birth control
"I was on NuvaRing for about 6 months. I stopped because I started gaining so much weight and it felt uncomfortable sometimes. I went from 150lbs to 167lbs in a matter of months. Other then that the Nuvaring worked well for me! Did not get pregnant, kept my periods lighter and sometimes shorter. I did notice hair loss and I did start getting leg cramps during my time on this medication. Good for teens!"
