Anyone else have trouble with this? The ring is great, I don't think about it really, but I think it is causing my acne to flare up again and not letting me lose more weight.

Have you been on any other Birth Controls (yasmin, lo, etc?)? How did you react to those?

I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen in high school (my OB doesn't like it...I didn't care for it either) and I was on the mini-pill for a while after my son's birth. The ortho was good for my acne, but aggravated my PCOS. I've really never been on anything else. The ring is my first "alternative" form of bc outside of condoms lol.

I can only speak from my experience, but I had NO acne on the patch, but the dosage was so high that I got migraines (I do not recommend the patch). I went without any BC for about 8 months and PCOS really took a toll (weight gain, acne, hair loss, skin changes). I started the ring, but it didn't start clearing things up for about 3 months of continual use.

How long have you been on the ring? I like it b/c of the low dosage though - no headaches! I haven't been able to lose weight on the ring, but then I haven't gained any (which is good, b/c I was gaining like crazy without any birth control).
