Definition:
NuvaRing contains ethinyl estradiol and etonogestrel. Both are female hormones that prevent ovulation. NuvaRing also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine covering, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized ovule to attach to the uterus. The NuvaRing vaginal ring is used as contraception to avoid pregnancy.
Hormonal contraceptives also have effects on the endometrium that perfectly could affect establishment. NuvaRing should not be used if a woman is pregnant.
Use of NuvaRing:
The currently accepted NuvaRing regimen specifies insertion of the ring into the vagina for a three-week period, then the removal of the ring for one week, during which the user will experience a menstrual period. The break week with NuvaRing is comparable to the place week for combined oral contraceptive pills and the contraceptive effect is too maintained during this period.
Insertion of the ring is comparable to insertion of other vaginal rings. The muscles of the vagina keep NuvaRing securely in place. Women can check the contraceptive ring periodically with their finger.
