Birth Control
"I started using the Nuvaring because I was having severe menstrual cramps and heavy periods.  I have been using it for 6-7 months now and although it has worked wonderfully for the reasons I started taking it, the side effects are not worth it.  I have fatigue, 8-10 weight gain, widening of my hips, and about a 2 cup breast size increase.  What&#039;s worse is that a lot of the weight gain in around my abdomen so none of my clothes fit.  There is definitely a lack of energy that has interrupted my lifestyle.  
I think its true that Nuvaring works for some women but not for others, just like any birth control.  For me, the experience has been more negative than positive so I am going to stop."
