nuvaring weight gain side effects

I was on the pill for years and came off of it to get an IUD which I got taken out after 8 months and started the Nuvaring. Coming off of the pill I LOST weight and felt better than ever... almost complete opposite...

I heard pretty good things about that, my ex gf was also on nuvaring and had little to none side effects.

Because it is absorbed vaginally and does not pass through the stomach, it has fewer side effects than birth control pills. There is typically not much weight gain--maybe 3-5 lbs of water weight + whatever the patient overeats and under-exercises. The only two complaints that I have had are that it falls out sometimes, and there can be some vaginal discharge associated with it. Hope this is helpful!

But the weight gain in my stomach and lower back pain were not expected. Should I be worried about something else such as IBS or other hormonal imbalances? I even took multiple pregnancy tests which were negative and I've been getting my period every month. But my body feels like it's tricking itself into feeling pregnant or something. I actually feel quick flutters in my stomach everyday.

I've really never done birth control long term but I know i really need to find something that works for me. My fiance wants to have a baby soon after the little one we have coming in February so I have to pee proactive about family planning lol. I'm nervous that it'll make me gain weight. I'm thinking I'll try the pill since I'm leary of implants and things have to put inserted by a doctor. Has anyone had experiences with the pill and the side effects?

I've been looking into an IUD, never had the patch personally (was afraid it'd fall off or something) but I know I wouldn't recommend the implanon/nexplanon implant or Nuvaring, the implant causes crazy side effects and Nuvaring doesn't stay in for anything!

I had the implanon implant (now nexplanon) and it made me gain 30 pounds and then I found out I was very much allergic to it. If the Nuva ring gave you any nasty side effects, don't go for the nexplanon, it's the same thing, different method. I have the paragard (copper) iud now and have had it two weeks. So far I'm really liking it. I've had several friends with it and they've loved it.

You need to look at the full potential for side effects as well as potential complications that can be caused by BC. (For example Depo can cause bone loss) Any hormonal BC can cause weight gain, among several other side effects. The only BC that doesn't is Paragard because its nonhormonal.

I was on NuvaRing..I had no side effects. Since I was irregular I liked it because you know when to expect your period. I chose to stop using it I didnt get pregnant on it so it works.

I just looked up Nuvaring and it looks like chest pain and numbness on one side of the body are side effects. http://www.medhelp.org/drugs/NuvaRing/show/3399 I don't know if you would typically experience these symptoms so quickly though.

I had a follow up last week to get my thyroid levels checked (I have them checked every 6 months) My T3 level had almost bottomed out since my January appt. The doc said most of the weight gain was water weight and suggested a diuretic. So he tweeked my thyroid meds and I researched natural diuretic because I don't want to take the prescription stuff. I have lost about a pound a day mostly thru drinking green tea and coffee (I didn't have any caffeine intake before this).

Hi, welcome to the forum, seroquel is known to be associated with weight gain. There is significant weight gain is seen, in such cases usually other anti psychotics are prescribed. The weight gaining effect of this drug will not persist after discontinuation. Any associated condition should be looked for. If there is a change in voice (Voice becomes dusky), weight gain, intolerance to cold etc. You need to get your T3, t4 and TSH level checked as it may be in initial phase.

The birth control pill is nice. You can take it so that you only have a period every four months (discuss with your gynecologist). I find it works well for me (I'm on Microgestin, but there are several out there and your gynecologist will decide what works best for your needs). I had heavy, 7-day-long periods with several clots, nausea, severe cramping, and severe lower back pain before going on the pill but now have light to moderate 2-3 day long periods with few clots if any.

Hi there, I am a 29 year old female - and about 7 months ago I stopped using Nuvaring. I already had a bit of adult acne and some weight gain before I stopped, but after I stopped the acne went a little crazy - on the lower half of my face and my neck. It has also been a bit over 6 months since I've had a period, which is beginning to freak me out.

I prefer the depo prevera myself, it keeps me from having a monthly cycle which I love but it does have a tendency to make you gain weight so if you choose it I suggest you try a healthier lifestyle with a good amount of exercise if not you'll pack on the pounds like crazy

I didn't like the way it made me feel And they said u r not so post to feel it but my husband said he could feel it.

It also makes me tired which I can handle that one but not the weight gain, I have had problems with my back in the past and when I put on weight my back hurts. I have nerve pain in my face and just pain in my face, what would be the other options I can talk to the dr about today? Would another pill from that line of pills be the same? I am going to talk to him about treatment of the other pain in my face if he don't want to then send me to a pain specialist that can treat all the pain.

m going with mirena or Copper IUD after this baby because normally hormones make me gain weight. The shot made me gain 50+ lbs and Nuvaring made me gain 15. my doctor said if I gained weight on nuvaring, which was super low dose that I'd gain weight on ANYTHING hormonal.

I couldve sworn that I replied to this (maybe it didn't go thru) The IUD CAN cause scarring and sometimes make it hard to conceive children later on. My OBGYN wouldn't put one in (I wanted the copper one but mirena can cause problems too) because I had a csection and he said there was a pretty big risk to me of porforation where it goes thru the scar tissue into the abdomen.

I didn't have any side effects except pregnancy, lol but some people may have them although not sure about the specific ones you asked about.
