I've been using Nuvaring for about 8 months and have gained at least 10 pounds. Also, my cholesterol went from 200 to 250 and LDL from 120 to 168. Has anyone else experience increase in cholesterol? I too have expererieced memory problems and have noticed that I wake up more often feeling as if my arm or hand "fell asleep".

I haven't had my cholesterol checked, but I've only been on Nuva Ring for about three months and I've gained 10-15 pounds!!! I thought I was crazy. I'm considering going back to the pill. Anyone else experiencing this same insane weight gain??

My cholesterol went from 180 to 245. I also experienced severe headaches and have gained 40 lbs. I went off of the nuvaring 7 weeks ago. I haven't had a headache in 6 weeks and I just had my blood work done and my cholesterol is now 209. I can't seem to get the weight off which could be because of me being hypothryroid. You can't imagine how great it is to not have a headache 3-4 days a week. This is just what happened with me. I have a couple of friends using nuvaring and they have no issues what so ever.
