Ethinyl estradiol / etonogestrel
"I've been on the Nuvaring for 2 years now and I love it! I was previously on Lo-ovral, but after my gastric bypass, my body wouldn't absorb the pill correctly, giving me acne, mood swings, and breakthrough bleeding. My gynecologist suggested the Nuvaring and I've loved it since then,
I have no mood swings, no weight gain. I do get bloating when I'm on my period. I'm a chronic migraine sufferer, but it only pops up in the beginning of my period. I tried to switch back to oral contraceptive last summer because Nuvaring is expensive, even with insurance, but my body didn't tolerate it well. Overall it's a great product. I don't have issues with the ring slipping out. My only issue is the cost."
