Question
Hey!  I am 28 years old, 5'2" tall, and weigh 275 lbs.  I have heard that the Nuva Ring is not as effective in women who are over 200 lbs.  Is this true?

I found this article online but don't see anything about your question on obese women. But thought it might be helpful to read. Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and put allexperts in the subject line and I will see if I can find more info about this.

Hope to hear from you soon and I'll keep looking for any articles concerning your question.

Sincerely,
