Birth Control
"My doctor put me on NuvaRing just shy of 3 months ago as a temporary alternative to the Assure procedure due to me needing to take birth control 3 months before the process. Previously I had not taken any hormones in over 10 yrs.  The first month was fine. NO problems and I had a lighter cycle than usual.  The 2nd month I started having crazy mood swings, and bloating.  At this stage I just saw my OB/Gyn today because I have gained so much weight and bloat. I&#039;m unable to wear my regular clothes.  I work out 4x a wk eat healthy (almost vegeterian) and my only caffeine is a daily cup of coffee. My doctor said I have gained 10 lbs and need to remove NuvaRing."
