Birth Control
"I&#039;ve been on it for more than 3 months. It&#039;s been really great; and is great for &quot;first time&quot; birth control because it&#039;s easy to use and a very low dose - less than 1/3rd of a normal pill dosage. While on Nuvaring, I&#039;ve experienced:
Effectiveness, no pregnancies - even when used with any type of lubricant. Able to use continuously to skip periods (which I love). Larger breasts (went from a C to a full D)
Light break-through bleeding, typically for one day when I change the Nuvaring. Cramping, which can be very painful. Personally I think it&#039;s linked to constipation, which can last a few days. Taking a cheap OTC laxative helps relieve both constipation and cramps. Small weight gain, mainly in breasts and hips. My waist is the same size."
