I was on this when I got pregnant. However, in Nuva Ring's defence I was a total dumbass and forgot that taking anti-biotics mucks with birth control's effeciency.

Personlly? I LOVED it! NO worries about missing pills, or taking them at the same time every day. Possible TMI, but I use OB tampons which don't have an applicator so inserting the ring was never a big deal to me, nor was taking it out. It's super comfortable and you don't feel it. If you do, then you didn't insert it in properly.

Nuva ring is like a little rubber ring you insert inside once a month and it releases hormones that act as birth control.

I haven't used it but seriously thought about it as it's supposed to be very simple with very few side-effects?

Thanks ladies, she has given me 3 months worth and then if I like it she will give me more... She said most of her patients with children prefer as it is so easy.
