THE FAT IS A LIE. I just started nuvaring 11 days ago now... even though my breasts have gone to an actual b cup instead of a big a, I seem to be losing weight already.

I am a full time nursing student. I started school a year ago tomorrow and I've put on 25 lbs. I guess it's the stress and lack of exercise. Anwways...I'm also severly ADHD and have trouble remembering daily pills (my ritalin included) so my doctor put me on Nuva Ring.
I've been on it for two months and lost six pounds. I'm very excited.
But I understand the struggles of weight gain and feel for all of you. Good luck!

When I went on the nuvaring I gain 5 pounds in the first two weeks despite working out four days a week. I had been gradually losing weight after having my baby, but when I got on the nuvaring, I gained weight fast and have been unable to lose the weight despite diet and exercise. After about 6 months I decided to get off the nuvaring and now my body is reacting negatively. I got my first period as scheduled, but now I'm over two weeks late getting my second scheduled period. And now for the last two weeks I've been experiencing horrible cramps, extreme bloating and an additional 5 pound weight gain (I'm assuming from the bloating, or at least I hope so). I've decided to lay off all birth control pills altogether, I'm sick off all the horrible side effects. I've chosen to simply use condoms with my husband. I would recommend the same to you as to avoid all the hormonal side effects.

I am so glad that I found this site. I thought that I was going crazy. I had a baby 7 months ago and lost a few pounds right away but now I am bigger than I was when I was pregnant. I have never had a weight problem and have always been about 105lbs and I needed to gain a little weight, but now I am 139 lbs. I love the nuva ring but the weight is killing me!

I've been on the nuva ring for 5 months and have literally lost 50 pounds. I'm insulin resistant, but at the same time i make entirely too much insulin. The nuva ring makes you even more insulin resistant. I see no side affects though, it's stabilized my blood sugar. Also, I have no appetite. Food as no appeal. But i needed the weight off anyway.

I've been on nuva ring for about a year and gained 20 lbs. My MD told me it's because I turned 30 and because I got married and started cooking at home! I didn't think turning 30 would make me gain THAT much weight. I feel better reading this. I just don't know what to do now. I was on the patch which worked fine for me but all of the scares made me nervous. I hate pills and don't want to do anything as drastic as an IUD. I'm so confused.

Well, this topic has effectively scared the sh** out of me. I was going to start the NuvaRing for a month while waiting to get my IUD inserted on December 14th but, if a lot of you are experiencing quick weight gain in such a short amount of time, screw it. It sounds like a lot of what you all are experiencing is water retention, which is naturally difficult to lose with exercise. Nevertheless, I am OCD and get extremely neurotic if I gain three pounds. I couldn't deal with something like that. I wonder if the fact that I am vegan and bicycle a lot would help but, part of me doubts that after visiting this forum. :-( Guess I'll stick with condoms until next month.....

Obviously you've never had a "REAL" migraine.
I get migraines and I have weight issues but have been dieting since January. I have just hit my 50lb lost mark and I would happily gain every pound back to get rid of my migraines.

Ive been on nuvaring for 2 months now, and i have a very strict diet as well as workout plan. I noticed ive gained 7 lbs in 2 months. That is unheard of with me. I barely fit into my jeans anymore and i dont have a sex drive anymore. Im not sure if anyone has experienced this. Im 24 and have been on ortho lo since i was 20, and i liked it a lot just wanted to see what was out there. Not to mention having sex with something in me kind of freaks me out. bottom line im switching back to the pill. Im not a fan of this weight gaining, no sex drive-in bs. Its messed up.

I have been on the nuvaring and I have not gained any weight. infact I have lost about 40 pounds since i have been on it. I workout and eat right tho. Maybe if you eat really bad and sit there all day doing nothing that helps with the weight gain. Idk have not gained so right now loving it.

I've been off of the nuvaring for about 2 months and have gained 15 lbs. I track my food and workout 6x/week. Nothing in my routine has changed. I am losing my mind! Someone please tell me this stops?
