This website is absolutely amazing to me... I started the nuvari...

This website is absolutely amazing to me... I started the nuvaring in March of 2007, but got off of it after a few months because I had gained some weight. My doctor didn't think this was related (she is a wonderful doctor, and this form of birth control was also new to her), so in September of 2007, I got back on it. At this time, I had lost over 26 lbs in between the months I hadn't had it. Since September of 2007, I have gained back 18 lbs, yet I go to the gym at MINIMUM 1.5 hours, 4 times a week, and that scale will not budge. I have done South Beach in the past with great success, but I could drink only water right now and not shed a lb. Also, I've been in and out of the ob's office with Candida and itchy vagina in general for months. Now, reading these posts, it's all starting to make sense to me. I was also diagnosed with hypothyroid. Which I'm starting to wonder if there is a connection. My migraines were so bad last year, that I had to have Fiorocet prescribed to me to get rid of them. And lastly, I feel much more tired than I have been in the last few years. I need my energy back! Either way, I will be coming off the ring, again, this week, and my husband and I will be back to condoms. And I can't wait to see if I feel normal.
