Usually, women over 180-200 pounds, based on a woman at 5'4 5'5 would be at higher riks of side efefcts related to the pill.

Nuva ring is usually offered to overweight women, because it has lwoer side effects, and its efectiveness is not reduced because you are overweight.

AN IUD could be an option too. It is non hormonal, so side effects are very very few.
