Nuva Ring and weight gain Posted: 12-27-07 23:15pm
Hi I have been on Nuva Ring for three
years now and as of the 31 of DEc I will
be going off of it because I don't have
any more. But I think that it is for the
best because I have gained 25 pounds over
that three years my hair is falling out
alot now my sex drive is gone and I have
been so moody for most of the time I have
been on it. and I was just wondering if
anyone has had the same problems and if
you go off of it will your life go back to
normal? I work out every other day eat
healthy and I still just keep gain weight
and it never happened before I got on the
ring! Please Help my husband and I are
going crazy!

I've been on Nuvaring for a year now and
the only thing that's happened to me is a
little weight gain. If using it is really
making you unhappy, then u should
definitely take it out! Ask your doctor
what your best options are. I think that
everyone's body reacts differently to each
birth control, so u just need to find one
that's better for you.

I was on it for a couple years and never
had any problems other than a decrease in
sex drive but all BC does that to me. I
never gained any weight or anything, in
fact nuva ring was the only one that
worked without making me a moody beast. I
am surprised you used the nuva ring for so
long if this is what is does to you. I
personally think you might have something
else going on. Have you had your thyroid
checked? Some of what you are saying are
symptoms of hypothyroidism.
Good luck

Yeah I talked to my doctor about
everything that has been going on but he
said that it is normal and that the other
birth control will make me even more
moody. My Thyroid is fine I have had is
checked every six months or more because I
am always geting sick so when I go to the
doctor he checks my blood for that. I have
a freind that is on it also and she also
went from 100 pounds to 120 in four years
of beingon it but she is so happy with it
she wont go off! The only concern that my
doctor has about me being on the nuva ring
is that hair loss is a big problem I guess
with alot of people who are on it!

I am just the opposite in regards to the
nuvaring. I have been on the ring for a
year and half, I havent gained a pound and
i am so trying to gain weight everyday.
My sex drive is very high. The only
change i have seen when it comes to sex is
that nuvaring sometimes dries me out. My
hair has grown tremendously since being on
the ring as well. I must say this has
been the best bc for me thus far.
Good luck with getting off the ring and
getting better.
