A member asked:
Why does the nuvaring, or any bc of that matter, cause weight gain? does the bc increase appitite or is it something else?

Progesterone: The scientific studies show the only method linked to weight gain is the depoprovera shot. The Progesterone in it leads to appetite stimulation. No other method has been linked to weight gain although that is a common complaint.
