"My experience on NuvaRing was a mixed bag. My first time on it was wonderful - I was CRAZY the first month on, after that it was smooth sailing. Absolutely no bad side effects. I had to discontinue due to no insurance, but when I went on it again years later I had a multitude of problems. BAD bloating around the midsection (I am otherwise a slender woman and the bloat didn't look right on me), thinning hair, dark spotting of the skin on my back and stomach, borderline severe depression and anxiety. I lost all the bloat as well as the depression and anxiety when I came off it. Unfortunately my acne came back (much to my dismay) when I stopped using it, but for me the NuvaRing was still not worth the side effects."
