Before there were choices on birth control, there was the standard contraceptive pill released in 1960. This was the go-to method of birth control but lately woman’s lives have changed and the pill is now becoming an inconvenience. Many say they forget to take the pill or find that they get cramping and prefer something more suited to their lifestyle.

The NuvaRing is a new method of birth control that, when it is used correctly, is as effective as the brith control pill. The NuvaRing is inserted into the vagina and left there for three weeks. After three weeks it is removed so that you have a period. The NuvaRing is convenient as it does not need to be taken everyday, just inserted once a month.

The NuvaRing does not hurt once it is in place. It will mold to your body and your vaginal muscles will keep it in place. If you find that the NuvaRing is uncomfortable, simply move it further along the vagina with your finger. Common questions regarding the use of NuvaRing can be found here.
