A member asked:

How common is weight gain on nuvaring birth control?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not at all: Nuvaring delivers a very low and steady amount of medication, which has never been shown to directly cause weight gain, base on many studies. Indirect effects and complications appear to be completely comparable to the more traditional birth control pill.
