Birth Control
"I started the medication in Jan 2015. I have 2 kids, so I wanted to ease of not taking a pill everyday without having an IUD. This seemed like the perfect solution. Over the past year I did experience decreased sex drive, fatigue, increase in anxiety and weight gain. I have NEVER had a problem with my weight before and I consistently work out and counted my calories. I was even training for a half marathon and still gained weight. In one year I gained about 12-15 lbs.  I took the Nuvaring out about 2 months ago and I have noticed a difference in my attitude and the weight gain stopped. However, it has been very difficult to get the weight off. It was definitely simple and easy to use, just not for everyone."
