Q:
Does Nuvaring work as well as the pill?
A:
Nuvaring is just as effective as the pill. However, Nuvaring offers
month-long protection against pregnancy, so women who use Nuvaring don't
have to think about contraception every day.
Q:
Why do I only need to use Nuvaring once a month?
A:
Nuvaring was designed to be convenient and easy to use. Once inserted,
the ring releases a continuous low dose of hormones that help prevent pregnancy.
It's this continuous, controlled release that protects you against pregnancy
all month long.
Q:
Why do I put Nuvaring in my vagina?
A:
Nuvaring was specially designed to release hormones into your body via
the membranes of your vagina. Because it's inside you, it's discreet -- no
one but you need know that you're using it.
Q:
What's the main advantage of contraception that releases a steady state of
low-dose hormones?
A:
Because Nuvaring releases its low dose of hormones slowly in a steady,
continuous stream, it gives you round-the-clock protection without your having
to take a pill every day.
Q:
Is Nuvaring easy to insert and remove?
A:
Yes. You insert the ring by holding it between your thumb and index finger
and pressing the opposite sides of it together. Then, squatting, lying down
or standing with one leg up, you gently push the folded ring into your vagina.
Three weeks later, you remove Nuvaring by hooking your
index finger under its forward rim, or by holding the rim between
your index and middle finger, and pulling it out. That's all
there is to it.
Q:
Can a ring get lost inside me?
A:
No. You can't push Nuvaring any further than the end of the vagina, where
the cervix (the narrow, lower end of the uterus) blocks it from going any further.
Q:
What does Nuvaring feel like when it's in my vagina?
A:
Most women don't feel Nuvaring. If you feel Nuvaring in your vagina,
use your finger to gently push it in further.
Q:
Will my partner or I feel the ring during intercourse?
A:
Most women and their partners do not feel Nuvaring during intercourse.
Q:
What should I do if Nuvaring slips out?
A:
Rarely, Nuvaring can slip out of your vagina. This could happen while
you're removing a tampon, moving your bowels or straining with severe constipation.
In the event the ring slips out repeatedly, please consult your healthcare
provider.
Out for less than three hours: If it does slip out, and if it
has been out less than three hours, you should still be protected
from pregnancy. Rinse the ring with cool-to-lukewarm (not hot)
water and re-insert it as soon as possible, at the latest within
three hours.
If you've lost the ring, you must insert a new ring and stay
on the same schedule you would have followed if you were still
using the lost ring.
Out for more than three hours: If Nuvaring has been out
of your vagina for more than three hours, you may not be adequately
protected against pregnancy. The ring should be rinsed in cool-to-lukewarm
(not hot) water and re-inserted as soon as possible. You must
use an extra method of birth control, such as male condoms or
spermicide, until the re-inserted ring has been in place for
seven consecutive days.
Q:
What should I do if I forget to put a new ring in?
A:
If the ring-free interval has been extended beyond one week, the possibility
of pregnancy should be considered, and an additional method of contraception,
such as male condoms or spermicide, must be used until Nuvaring has been
used continuously for seven days.
Q:
What should I do if I keep a ring in for too long?
A:
If Nuvaring has been left in your vagina for up to one extra week (four
weeks in total or less), remove it and insert a new ring after a one-week ring-free
break.
If Nuvaring has been left in place for more than four weeks,
you may not be adequately protected against pregnancy and you
must check to be sure you are not pregnant. If you know or suspect
that you're pregnant, do not use Nuvaring.
If you are not pregnant, insert a new ring. You must use an
extra method of birth control, such as male condoms or spermicide,
until the new Nuvaring has been in place for seven days
in a row.
Q:
What happens if I miss a menstrual period when I’m using Nuvaring?
A:
You must check to be sure that you are not pregnant if:
- You miss a period and Nuvaring was out of your vagina
for more than three hours during the three weeks of ring use.
- You miss a period and you had waited longer than one week
to insert a new ring.
- You have followed the instructions for using Nuvaring and
you miss two periods in a row.
- You have left Nuvaring in place for longer than four
weeks.
If you know or suspect that you’re pregnant, do not use
Nuvaring. See your healthcare provider as soon as possible. Q:
Can I switch from the pill to Nuvaring? How?
A:
Yes, simply follow your physician's instructions for changing birth control
methods.
Q:
Can I overdose when using Nuvaring?
A:
Nuvaring is unlikely to cause an overdose because it releases a steady
amount of contraceptive hormones over a long period of time.
Never use more than one ring at a time. Symptoms of combined
hormonal contraceptive overdose include nausea, vomiting and
vaginal bleeding. If you experience any of them, see your healthcare
provider immediately.
Q:
How do I stop using Nuvaring if I want to get pregnant?
A:
Simply stop -- your normal fertility will return in a short period of time.
Clinical trials indicate that the average return to normal cycling occurs 19
days after ring removal.
Q:
Are there any risks associated with Nuvaring use?
A:
The use of combination hormonal contraceptives is associated with increased
risk of several serious side effects, including blood clots, which may lead
to stroke or heart attack. The risk of getting blood clots may be greater with
the type of progestin in Nuvaring than with some other progestins in certain
low-dose birth control pills. It is unknown if the risk of blood clots is different
with Nuvaring use than with the use of certain birth control pills. Cigarette
smoking increases the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease; women
who use combination hormonal contraceptives are strongly advised not to smoke.
Q:
Does Nuvaring protect against sexually transmitted diseases
(STDs)?
A:
As with other hormonal contraceptives, Nuvaring does not protect against
HIV infection and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Q:
Who should not use Nuvaring?
A:
Do not use Nuvaring if you have any of the following conditions:
- Pregnancy or suspected pregnancy
- Blood clots in your legs (thrombosis), lungs (pulmonary
embolism), or eyes (now or in the past)
- Chest pain (angina pectoris)
- Heart attack or stroke
- Severe high blood pressure
- Diabetes with complications of the kidneys, eyes, nerves,
or blood vessels
- Headaches with neurological symptoms
- Known or suspected breast cancer or cancer of the lining
of the uterus, cervix, or vagina (now or in the past)
- Unexplained vaginal bleeding
- Yellowing of the whites of the eyes or of the skin (jaundice)
during pregnancy or during past use of oral contraceptives
(birth control pills)
- Liver tumors or active liver disease
- Disease of the heart valves with complications
- Need for a long period of bedrest following major surgery
- An allergic reaction to any of the components of Nuvaring
Tell your healthcare provider if you have ever had any of
the conditions just listed. Your healthcare provider can suggest
another method of birth control.
Q:
Are there any side effects associated with Nuvaring use?
A:
In clinical trials of Nuvaring, some women experienced vaginitis, headache,
upper respiratory tract infection, leukorrhea, sinusitis, weight gain and nausea. Q:
How do I dispose of Nuvaring?
A:
Place the used ring in the foil pouch and properly dispose of it in a waste
receptacle out of the reach of children and pets. Do not throw it in the toilet.
