A member asked:
Can the nuvaring prevent me from losing weight or make me gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Nuvaring may have a small impact on your appetite, but what goes past your lips is up to you. In addition, NuvaRing doesn't impact your ability to get regular aerobic exercise and make health choices.
