Is anyone else using this birthcontrol? Is it harder to lose weight due to the horomones in it ?

    i'm no longer on the nuva-ring, but when i was, i found that my skin cleared up, i was in a better overall mood, & i lost weight without trying :o) i know people get different results & everyone's body is different, but because it isn't like a pill & your hormones are stable for the whole month, you shouldn't have issues of cravings & gaining weight that the pill is known for.

    I started using NuvaRing 3 months ago and haven't had any problem continuing to lose weight. I know the key has been exercising, logging my food and watching what I eat.

    Best of luck to you!

    I am on it, but only have been for the past 3 months... Haven't noticed a difference in my ability to lose weight or stay consistant with my weight since the switch. Thankfully it isn't making me gain weight; only birthcontrol that is working for me right now! Good luck!
