Birth control - weight gain?

I don’t use nuvaring, but yes birth control can cause weight gain!

I think all birth control comes with the possible side effect of weight gain not always because of what you are eating but because of the change in hormones.

Pretty much all the studies that have been done around this show that birth control does not cause weight gain. The increase in hunger might just be your body adjusting to something new. If you’re concerned about it I would talk to your doctor and see if there are any alternatives. Everyone’s body is different.

Weight gain, no-water retention-possible.

I have a Skyla
I've struggled with my weight all my life (before and after birth control) so I really can't blame it on birth control!
I've def heard a lot of anecdotes about the pill causing weight gain. Haven't heard anything about the NuvaRingWhen I first got my IUD, my gyno told me the hormone dosage is so low and localized that it won't affect the rest of my body. I managed to lose 30 lb while on a medically supervised fast (and while having a Skyla) Just a thought, if the NuvaRing isn't working for you, look into Skyla or Mirena. And get the numbing shot!

View Quoted Comment Yes! Sorry should’ve clarified that. She didn’t speak about gaining weight though just increase in hunger so I didn’t.

I am the same way but I had to put my self on a water diet or remind my self not to eat but lunch & I eat oatmeal for breakfast.. Its not easy but I try & I was wrking out..

I don’t have NuvaRinga—I have Skyla. I used to experience weight gain and lots of hormonal problems while on the pill. That all stopped when I got my IUD.
If you’re having issues, I personally recommend Skyla. This is my 2nd one, they last 3 years, and are smaller than others like Mirena.
