A member asked:

Will the nuvaring prevent me from losing weight?

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.
