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 just started my second month with nuvaring. So far so good.

My doctor gave me nuva ring last Saturday. I have no idea how to insert it. This is very awkward. She told ,e to tell my bf to do it for me. It's been sitting there all week though.

How far out did you get your period when you took it out the first month?

I just took mine out this Past Sunday and today is Wednesday and i havent gotten it. Im just spotting. Not sure if thats normal or considered your period. This is the first month i use nuvaring.

I took mine out on a Tuesday and didn't start until Saturday. Put the new one in on the following Tues and stopped completely by Thurs night.

I actually watched a girl talk about (not really show) how to do it. I still find it slightly awkward. I twist it into a figure 8. But still weird.

Sorry. Watched on YouTube.

Nuvaring is my choice of BC. I have had no issues before or after my sleeve surg with weight gain... I do have an issue with a decrease in my sexual drive.. So that SUCKS. But, I can't have babies right now, so we have to work thru that issue.

I haven't had the sleeve yet, but I am on my second Mirena. LOVE it! Didn't really notice much weight gain from that.

I've been using the NuvaRing for years and I love it. Never noticed any weight gain. I do love that its made my flow VERY light and only a few days(usually less than 4). Total bonus for me. Talk to your Lady Dr. about all your options, but I 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' date=' I have to get something soon![/quote']

I love the Nuva Ring, I've been on it for five years....

Love my nuva!

Bc pills stopped working for me after i lost about 80 lbs and i was ovulating. No issues with the ring.
