Ok this may be a long one.. so I apologize ahead of time, lots of questions and issues on my mind right now.. hopefully none are stupid questions.
Ok first thing, I am in new relationship and it is starting to lead into a physical relationship. I want to be prepared and take care of things and cannot risk a pregnancy right now. I have never been on birth control because that really hasn't been an issue before (I am virgin in mid 20's). I have read MANY of the posts here to get some advice on what I might consider. So I am looking for advice from those that are more experienced.
Here are some factors that may need to be considered:
I want to avoid weight gain-I just lost 80 lbs plus in last 5 years cannot go through that again.
I have adult acne and would like that to be helped with bc pills.
I also have some facial hair (ewww) but been test for PCOS and don't have it. I have heard that bc pills can help with that.. wondering others experiences with that.
I don't want to have children for a while... at least 2 years maybe more.
I have a family history of heart disease.. grandpa died of heart attack, grandma had stroke, I personally had high blood pressure in teens, but is better now.
I am not used to taking pills-have crazy schedule where I work either early am (6:30) or pm. Yet I don't know that I would be comfortable with inserting nuvaring??
I would appreciate any help I can get. I am going to schedule yearly pap test for this week and would like to cover this issue as well, but want some ideas before I go in.

Hi cubbygirl77, welcome!

The ring is really easy to use--I've been using it for 4 years in December.
