Nuvaring Anyone?

Is anyone using the Nuvaring for birth control? I have an appt next wednesday to talk to my gyno and I wanted to get any information before hand. Thanks Sammie

Hey Sammie I use the Nuva ring and absolutly love it it is so much simpiler than trying to remember taking the pill. You inset the ring for 21 days than take it out for 7 days to have your period. It is the best form of birth control I have ever used. Marcey 255/216/150

Thanks for the info. I really like how easy this sounds. I just do not want to have another pill to have to take. Thanks for your quick response. Sammie

Sammie, I started on it last month and I love it. I was on the pill for 12 years before my wls. I switched to the Nuvaring because my surgeon said the failure rate of the pill is very high after wls. The absorption is not very good at all. I'm thrilled with not having to think about it every day anymore. Even if I could go back on the pill, I probably wouldn't. Carol

I have used Nuvaring for over 2 years/close to 3 and absolutely love it. No problems whatsoever.... and it is SO NICE not to have to worry about a pill or switching a patch every week or a shot every couple months.... The trickiest thing for me is remembering when the 21 days are up cause you literally just forget "its there"!
