Vaginal Ring (NuvaRing)

The vaginal ring is a small, flexible ring a woman inserts into her vagina once a month to prevent pregnancy. By releasing hormones, it prevents pregnancy by suppressing ovulation. It is left in place for three weeks and taken out for the remaining week each month and is available by prescription. For most women, it is a safe, flexible and convenient option.

*Like all forms of hormonal birth control, the vaginal ring does not protect against Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD).
