It is a form of birth control. It is a
plastic ring that you insert every 3
weeks.

It basically has the same hormones as bcps
but it is a plastic ring that you insert
vaginally and leave in for three weeks.
It was very convenient and easy to use.
I didn't have many side effects. I think
the hormone levels are supposed to be
lower than bcps. I have read that it
takes time to get a regular cycle after
using it though.

Hope you didnt think I was trying to be
nosey its just before I was ttc I used to
be on bcp and I used to have a horrible
habit of forgetting to take them. So
information on alternatives are always
useful!

Did you have any trouble with the pills?
If you didn't, nuvaring may be a great
option for you. I had a few minor side
effects, nothing that really interupted my
life. It is so convenient to use. I
really liked it. You should talk to your
doctor about it. Did you already have a
baby?

I have 2 children a 4yr old and a 20mth
old, I have always used bcp's. At first I
had the mini pill because I had high blood
pressure but this made me depressed. I
managed to get the blood pressure under
control so I started using the combined
pill, this was much better but I am just
very forgetful so I would often just
forget to take them. So it wasnt always
very reliable. At the moment we are
trying for baby no3 so I dont need any bc.
Just trying to get some ideas for the
future!
