Nuvaring and weight gain?
| Tue, 05-25-2004 - 9:26pm |
In reading the literature on the nuvaring, weight gain was one of the first side effects listed. Does weight gain occur more frequently than with the birth control pill? Experiences please?
Thanks

Personally, after almost a year and half of ring use, I haven't gained any weight (nor did I gain weight with the pill). I've weighed about the same in the last 12 years, the last seven and a half of which I've been on hormonal contraception (yes I eat well and exercise frequently). Weight gain is not a given, though it will happen to some women, but it's no more likely than with the pill.
Good luck!
