I like the ring, I have gained a bit of weight though. I am also very nervous about blood clot risk so I might switch to minipill, but the ring has made my periods very bearable and I can choose to only have them every two months! I also had a decrease in body acne on the ring, particularly on my back. I would recommend this method if you are not overweight, smoke, or are over 35 as the risk of blood clots goes does a lot and it’s easy to use! I also have experienced headaches for the first time in my life since being on this, they’re mild but not fun.

I was on this birth control for 10 years until I got a blood clot and had to be on blood thinners for a month. Not fun.

Overall, the birth control is reliable. I like not having to worry about it on a daily basis and it does not interfere with sex.
