nuvaring, does it cause weight gain?
| Wed, 04-12-2006 - 1:54pm |
Hi, I know that studies have shown that birth control pills are not associated with weight gain, but how about the nuvaring, any information on it?
Thank you

As I understand it, as long as you are using a hormonal contraceptive there will always be the chance of gaining weight.
It really just depends on the person and their sensitivity to the hormones. Nuvaring does have a lower amount of hormones than most, so I think that can help with the weight gain or lack there of.

Because the hormones in the ring are the same as those used in birth control pills (relatively speaking) and in similar doses, the test data (that there's no guarantee of weight gain) would reflect the ring too.
