Hi - I'm having a bit of trouble losing
weight. I've never had trouble in the
past. I usually gain about 5-10lbs in the
winter, compared to the summer. I know I
have to hit the gym for any real results,
but this winter's weight is not coming
off, and I've been going 3-4 times a week
for a month or two now.
I recently (over the past 3 months) have
begun using Nuvaring as I hate taking
pills and I used to psych myself into
nausea when I took oral contraceptives
(Velivet). I can't seem to get any weight
to budge, on the scale or in the mirror,
since using this new method.
Has anyone had any problems with Nuvaring
and weight gain? And does anyone know any
low dose oral BC that might not have these
side effects. My friend whose a PA swears
that weight gain and birth control pills
is not linked, scientifically - but I
wonder who paid for that research?
