birth control
"The Nuvaring was perfect for me except for ONE thing- it caused me to have a yeast infection. I didn't know that I had an infection (my symptoms were one spot that was really itchy and fishy smelling discharge for about two-four days every month) and I left it untreated for months which caused it to be horrible (well, I don't know if the Nuvaring made it horrible or me leaving it untreated caused that). When I finally went to the GYNO I had to go off of it and immediately be put on yeast pills and I had to put a cream on twice a day for three weeks. It also caused me to have an increase in vaginal discharge so I just wore pantyliner everyday. Outside of those things, it was great. No acne, weight gain, mood swings, or nausea."
