Birth Control
"I have used NuvaRing for about 3 years.  I LOVE the convenience and the fact that it&#039;s a low-dose hormonal contraceptive.  I haven&#039;t experienced weight gain, mood fluctuations, or spotting while on it.  However, I&#039;ve noticed that my sex drive has diminished greatly over the past year or so.  I&#039;ve had recurrent bacterial vaginosis, which is caused by a change in the balance of the vaginal flora. I&#039;ve noticed an increase in acne along my jawline around my withdrawal week, and I have a predictable headache during that week as well.  Despite the fact that I&#039;ll really miss the convenience of the NuvaRing, I&#039;ve decided to talk to my gynecologist about trying another contraceptive."
