I can't take oral meds for the PCOS because they make me ill... has anyone tried Nuvaring?

I have the Nuvaring as my form of birth control and I love it! I used to take the oral contraceptives but I guess I am just really ADHD and would forget to take them, or at different times each day and I knew it wasn't smart to mess up something like that. I looked into other forms of BC this past January and my doctor recomened the Nuvaring. It is such a great option for people who can't or don't like to take the pills. I was kind of hesitant at first and kind of scared to see what it was like, but it is very easy and reliable. I keep it in for 4 straight weeks and then take it out for one week to have my period. It doesn't hurt, and honestly I forget I even have it in until I see the notice in my planner that it is time to take it out. My periods have been regular and short for the whole time I have been on the Nuvaring. I also have gone up I think a whole cup size and I am excited about that cause I am almost 22 and never thought I would get boobs! haha, but seriously it is the greatest birth control option in my opinion!! If you have any other questions just ask me, cause I am an advocate!

Oh no... the last thing I need is to go up a cup size... I'm an E already, so if you want some... lol

I've been using it for 2 1/2 weeks now, and not a problem at all.. Thanks Claire

oh well if you are willing to give.. but sadly we all know it could never work! My best friend was having a reduction last year from being about the same as you and I really just wanted them to give me what they took out of her.. haha oh well! Good luck with everything, rock on nuvaringers!
