Nuvaring and acne...

[rose11]

If possible, could someone who has used nuvaring for birth control tell me how it affected acne? I have really acne-prone skin and the following birth control pills have all made my skin worse: Yasmin, Ortho-Tri Cyclen, Demulen 1-35. This is like my last hope for birth control and I am SO nervous. Does anyone know about the nuvaring and acne?

right now i am on ortho-tricyclen lo (month 2 on it) and i am having a mini-break out (i hope it subsides soon)... but previously i was on nuvaring, and BOY! my skin was SO clear!!! i eventually opted out of nuvaring because it slid down a few times, but that doesnt happen to most women.
before nuvaring i was using proactiv to keep my skin under control (it didnt help all that much), but i stopped proactiv when using nuvaring, since my skin was so good, and it just got better.
for skin reasons, i wish i was still on nuvaring.
good luck!!!!
