RE: Nuvaring Contraceptive

[Guest guest]

The NuvaRing is basically just another delivery system for the hormonal contraceptive (time-released hormones in a ring that sits up next to the cervix). Considering hormonal contraceptive cancer risks, and effects on the cervix, and the direct release of the hormones at the cervix, I can see a lot of risk for this device.

Nuvaring Contraceptive

I have been asked about the Nuvaring contraceptive. I would like to take the opportunity to educate about the risks of contraceptives and the benefits of NFP.

Does anyone know anything specific about Nuvaring and how it works? Risks?

Thanks!
