For Birth Control: Like everyone else I was on NuvaRing for 4+ years and absolutely loved it - I never experienced any side effects. I went into the pharmacy and they handed me Eluryng without any warning that they were switching me in advance. Two months into Eluryng and I have pretty bad acne considering I'm 25 and never had pimples even in my teens. I'm absolutely devastated and hoping Kaiser will switch me back.... it's either that or I'm going to attempt the pill (which sucks). |

For Birth Control: I had my Kyleena inserted in June 2019 (previously on oral birth control) and it did NOT feel good. The insertion was quite painful, definitely worse than any period cramps I've ever had, but I only had cramps for the rest of the afternoon and evening that day and have felt nothing since! My periods stopped completely (so far) and I'm not pregnant, so those are perks! My acne has flared terribly, though. I'm 28 and experiencing hormonal acne around my jaw area that I can't get rid of. I'm also pretty sure that I am having a hard time losing weight because of the IUD. I have been working out at least 5 days a week (training for a half-marathon) and eating very clean/healthy for two months consistently and have not managed to lose any weight. I'm now down a wormhole reading these forums and debating getting it removed! For Birth Control: Got kyleena inserted end of October 2019, the insertion wasn't too bad some cramping but nothing major. I bled for a month straight after. I'm now coming up on my 3rd month, have some occasional spotting and I get my period every month lasting about a week. So far I've only had some cramping, bloating, and nausea when it is coming to that time of the month. But that's normal for me. I did have hormonal acne before the IUD, it hasn't made it any worse. I do suggest thou for anybody who is breaking out on the IUD or have hormonal acne in general I have been taking some supplements that have cleared my skin 90% 1) Alani Nu Balance 2) Zinc 3) B5 4) Probiotic 5) Ashwandgha (helps w/ stress & depression) 6) Iron (if you have anemia or heavy periods) hope this helps |

For Birth Control: I have been on the generic form of NuvaRing now for 8 months and I have hated every month of it-the week before my period I am a RAGING hormonal mess (and it’s not due to the current pandemic)-I felt this way when I tried out Yaz many many years ago. I would become very easily upset/angry with friends and family. I was switched to the Nuvaring after ruptured ovarian cysts along with the behavioral changes and I’ve had NO issues in 16 years and then lo and behold On this generic NuvaRing I developed ruptured ovarian cysts in the last 8 months; I have had very bad PMS, breast tenderness and cramping. I went to my ob/gyn and we are going to do whatever it takes to get NuvaRing via insurance. I cannot take this generic for another month.
