The convenience of nuvaring is what made me choose it at first! It was fantastic! I felt great that I didn't have to worry about taking a daily pill. About 3 months ago though, I realized something..I'd gained nearly 35 lbs with NO lifestyle changes! My breasts had increased over a cup size (which was great), but the rest of the weight gain was right in my middle. My boyfriend was always telling me how emotional and irritable I was getting too. At first, I thought it was just because my doctor has me on an 84 day cycle (3 months) due to my previous migraines around that time of the month, so I chose to try a period once a month. 3 months later, no change. The weight kept slowly but surely coming on. I switched to a pill again, and one month later have lost nearly 10 lbs, found a decrease in appetite, and my mood has stabilized. It's been amazing! I recommend nuvaring for convenience, but just be careful and watch out for any symptoms that you don't like.
