I did Nuvaring for four months, and I personally still couldn't tolerate the estrogen in it (was bloating and blowing up at people). But that's me. My skin was beautiful, and head hair stayed put. AF very regular (although she wouldn't show for four days after removing ring). It was easy to insert--I pinched and put it up there. It never came out. I just hooked it or got DH to remove with his long fingers and it came right out. Not like the Sponge--that was a NIGHTMARE to get out when I tried it a few times before the Ring. I was less hormonal than other bcp, and I did NOT gain weight (nor have I lost any off the ring either, which showed I wouldn't have gained on Ring).

I plan to try a minipill, and failing that, go back on spiro w/ IUD and just bleed again.

Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.
