birth control
"I am 42 and have never been on bc for very long.  Last attempt I was on Nuevo Ring and wound up with a huge clot in my leg after a couple of weeks.  First few weeks was a bit rocky on this one. Felt bloated a little moody etc but I am midway through 2nd month and my body has stabilized.  I may have had PCOS, definitely had a hormonal imbalance (elevated dhea-s) and am relieved to no longer have super oily/thinning hair, dark hairs popping up on my chin, super heavy periods. I was able to get my cycles down to 33 days and more normalized prior to starting but it is great coming down to 28.  Sex drive was good before but even better.  I am a person who does not like pills and is afraid of side effects but so far the side effects are minimal"
