Whats that?

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

That ones new to me too, how does it work?

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!
