Document Summary
You put it in and you take it out yourself. Nuvaring stays in place comfortably for 3 full weeks. Then you take it out for 1 week. You will be protected from pregnancy for the entire month. Nuvaring is a slender, flexible, transparent vaginal ring, about as big around as a silver dollar. Nuvaring delivers steady low-dose contraceptive hormones around the clock. The exact positioning of the ring within the vagina is not critical for it to work because it is not a barrier method and therefore cannot be incorrectly inserted within the vagina. Side effects may include vaginal discharge, infection, or irritation in small numbers of women. Ortho evra, the first birth control patch, has been approved by the u. s. food and drug. It is now available for prescription from your doctor or healthcare professional. Ortho evra is a once-a-week birth control option that"s as effective as the pill.
