Has anyone else tried NuvaRing? I just started it maybe a week ago & my weight has jumped by 8lbs 😐 Looking for an alternative to the the pill, wasn’t having the best reaction to the one I was on.

I did nuvaring for 14 years, started at 18. Seemed fine at the time but I was young, I don’t know what my own actual adult hormones are like.

Have gained 25 lbs on my athletic slim figure in the last 10 weeks since coming off it recently. Wish I had never done hormonal birth control.

Point being how you feel and what happens ON a method of BC is only half the story. You also have to consider ramifications of later coming off it.

I gained after stopping hormonal. Almost 15 lbs with no other lifestyle changes 🤦🏻‍♀️

I also did not like nuvaring. I did depo for many years and loved it, but they recommend you take a break from it so I did. Did the arm implant for a year or two before I switched to an IUD. Never been happier.

I recommend the patch. Easy to follow, and only needs to be replaced every week. You do this for 3 weeks. The 4th week you wear no patch and you get your period.

I had the Nuva Ring for several years. It gave me a bunch of discharge and itchiness, as well as more headaches. Copper IUD was an improvement for me.

Copper IUD for me because I didn’t want any hormones. Had it for five years with no problems.

I hated it- tried it when taking a break from IUD after gynecological surgery. Made me feel bloated and emotional all the time. IUD is a million times better.

Omg this makes me feel less alone. I did the Nuva ring for a very short period of time since my doctor convinced me this was the best option. I immediately started to experience weight gain and switched back to BC ASAP.

Crazy ethics issue. Client 1 has VPO against man who later becomes Client 2. This is the 4th VPO this year, previous ones dismissed.

In the meantime, State has filed rape charges against man who becomes Client 2 and A/B charges against Client 1. Client 1 also files for divorce.

Clients reconcile (which is how they both end up clients...) and want VPO dismissed, divorce dismissed, and criminal charges dismissed.

DHS gets involved and want to remove the child from Client 1's custody. (1/2)

Ladies how do you manage your relationship when your spouse holds you to what you promised you would do before you got married but then you realize you can’t do it. I had promised my husband I would fast with him for an entire day on a specific religious holiday, but when I did for the first time I had stomach pains, headache, and nausea. I told him I can’t do it for that long again but he said “we’ll see, you just need to push through”.
