Vaginal Contraceptive Ring

NuvaRing is a non-biodegradable, flexible, transparent ring that is inserted into the vagina once a month. 

This low dose contraceptive slowly releases a combination of progestin (etonogestrel) and estrogen (ethinyl estradiol).  NuvaRing remains in the vagina for 21 days and is then removed for 7 days, during these 7 days the woman will have her period. 

The NuvaRing should not be removed before or after intercourse. When it is placed properly, it is unlikely that either partner will feel the ring.

 

When using the NuvaRing it is important to also use condoms to prevent sexually transmitted infections.

In clinical testing with thousands of women, NuvaRing, when used as directed, has been proven to be 99% effective, similar to that of combination birth control pills. 

The NuvaRing is available at Sexual Health Clinics for $10.00 per month.
