I also have experienced a noticeable decrease in appetite while on Nuvaring--it's one of the side effects I notice the most. It probably goes hand in hand with the loss of libido. Food just doesn't seem as stimulating anymore, and I've always been a good eater. I started using it about 1.5 years ago, stayed on it for about 6 months, then stopped for a few months. After stopping I felt like I couldn't eat enough to satisfy my hunger! I wonder if this is in part due to it causing slightly increased insulin resistance? I don't gain or lose weight easily, but I did definitely lose about 5 pounds while on Nuvaring, the first time, and now that I'm on it again. I think the weight loss was largely a result of the appetite loss.

I've gained weight while on nuvaring. I just finished my second month and have gained 10 pounds. I started it just before holidays, so I attributed my first few pounds to christmas and new years, but have been more vigilant than ever about my diet and excercise since then, and I've continued to put on weight. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm up for them.

I have been on Nuvaring for two years and I think it is the greatest birth control ever. However, I have not been able to lose ANY weight. I started at 134 and killed my self exercising (post-baby) and didn't drop any weight. Soon as I stopped exercising i started gaining and now have hit 140 which is my highest weight when I wasn't pregnant. I haven't changed any of my eating habits, yet exercise and dieting are not doing anything to help me drop weight.
I stopped using any form of BC and am waiting to see if I can get back to normal with exercise and dieting. I HOPE it is a Nuvaring....otherwise I don't know what to do.

I just started using nuva ring last week. I have experienced dramatic loss in appetite as well as nausea. Is anyone else experiencing this? I wonder if this is a normal side effect.

I used the nuva ring for 2 years now and haven't changed my lifestyle much and have put on 20 pounds. I gained alot of weight and I think it started when I got on this, so look out.

I first started the Nuve ring Mar 06, I recently started gaining weight in Jan 08, my boobs are huge even though it balances out with my weight. Im doing the same diet and exercise. I've gained a total of 10 lbs. I'm thinking of coming off, just to see it I notice a change in weight. It's a very good method of B-control, no moodiness of anything, just weight gain and a change in Ph

I've been on the Nuva ring for the last five months and for the first time in my life, I have drastically gained weight. I just had the epiphany today that the Nuva ring must be the cause. I eat healthy; I took up walking for fitness with some running mixed in. I've been counting calories since I've been gaining so much weight lately; I'm doing things to not gain weight yet I've gained almost 12 pounds in five months. It has to be attributed to the Nuva Ring. I've never gained weight like this before. It's insane. I'm going to go off BC and see if that helps. I only use it to lighten my mentstration. I can't stand the tight clothes lately. Just be cautious. Nuva Ring's website states it is "weight neutral". I'm not so sure. It's so darn convenient, though.... sigh...... OH well.

I got on the Nuva Ring a year ago post baby, the 7 weeks after I had him I was lost around 15lbs. Once on the nuva right I was back up to my highest weight while I was pregnant in about 4 months. I was on it a year busted butt working out never lost a pound! I finally stopped taking it, two weeks off the Nuva Ring and I've lost 10 lbs!!

I've been on the ring for 3 years. I did gain about 10 pounds within the first year as my hormones settled, but have lost 20 pounds in this last year. It's kinda weird though--as my weight shrinks, my boobs grow! I started out as a large B; now I'm a small D.
But alas, my doctor wants to put me on the Mirena IUD due to headaches that she thinks I'm getting because of Nuvaring. I hope I don't gain weight back...

I have been on the nuvaring for at least four months i stopped however due to the fact that i actually lost at least thirty pounds. I went from 150lbs to 120lbs. I hate every moment I'm a grown woman with the body of teenager. The most thing I hate the most of all is the response I get from those who knows me then and me now.

i've been on the Nuva Ring for 2 years now. during the first year I lost about 10 lbs. But during the second year I gained it all back. Also it helped with my irregular periods, and cramps. like clock work about 48 hours after I take out the rind my period will start. I love it!
