Is anyone on NuvaRing or has used it?

My PCP prescribed it and knows i have The sleeve. She said NuvaRing does not cause weight gain but im still worried about gaining. Anybody has experince with this BC?

I think if you do a search here a lot of women like it and use it..

I've seen several threads about those and other forms of contraceptives

I have been using Nuva Ring for 7 years. I didn't notice any weight gain when I started and over the years I don't think it's contributed much to my weight gain, mostly that's been caused by eating too much. You're most likely going to have to try a few different kinds to see what works best for you, we all have a different reaction. This works best for me since I can't seem to remember to take a pill everyday. I also tried the patch before the ring but it was always ripping off the top layer of skin every month when I changed it out. Another benefit of the ring is very minimal bleeding, sometimes I don't even get my period before I start the next ring.

I have mirena and love it, I gained weight initially but that was presurgery and that was from eating from hormones. Otherwise, its wonderful! Sorry never used the ring.

I tried the ring, but didn't last the full first month. it gave me the yeast infection from hell. I didn't gain weight for those few weeks, but I did retain some Water.

Sorry i cant be much more help.

Before I had my hysterectomy I was using the Nuva Ring and It was great! I was the worst at remembering to take my pill. I didn't gain any weight from it like I did with the Norplant.

I have a Mirena too. This is my 2nd one. Love it!

Im interested in more info on the nuvaring and sleeve patients. I've done terrible with pills in the past because I don't remember to take them... The patch was my favorite but being overweight took that luxury away and now my Gyn doesn't like patches. I've gone through 2 Mirenas but my body has rejected them. Now im running out of options and really considering the nuvaring before returning to pills but with the cycle I've had post op, I have to get something soon!

This is what I've used for the last few months, works so far for me.
