A woman who previously had irregular periods may find this disruption lasts for up to 6 months. NuvaRing is said to be 99 per cent effective when used correctly. This means that it is as effective as the contraceptive pill.
NuvaRing is an effective means of contraception, but the user must follow the instructions. Around 9 percent of users become pregnant each year because they do not do this. There may be some discomfort when the ring is first used while the body gets used to the hormonal changes. These may include bleeding between periods, breast tenderness, and nausea. They should disappear after 2 to 3 months of use. The device secretes hormones that can cause changes in the blood-clotting system.
Using it can cause blood to clot more easily, so it is not suitable for women with a history of blood-clotting. Smoking severely increases the risk of serious cardiovascular side effects in women who use a combination contraceptive such as NuvaRing. The manufacturer warns women not to use it if they smoke cigarettes and are over 35 years of age. In , the U.

This was higher than the risk involved when taking a low-dose estrogen pill for birth control. The manufacturers have faced over lawsuits because of blood-clotting complications that have resulted in amputations, pulmonary embolisms, stroke, and death. Other conditions that it should not be used with include severe migraine headaches , liver disease or liver tumors, cardiovascular disease, unexplained vaginal bleeding, breast cancer or other types of cancer that are sensitive to hormonal changes.
It should not be used if the woman may be pregnant. The most common side effects of the ring include irritation inside your vagina or on your cervix, along with vaginal discharge , according to NuvaRing. This is totally a personal preference. If you want to, you can take your NuvaRing out for up to three hours and then reinsert it, the Mayo Clinic says.

NuvaRing is a flexible plastic loop that goes into your vagina and emits hormones to prevent an unintended pregnancy. If you have very heavy or painful periods, NuvaRing may be able to help.
To use the ring, you insert it at a certain time and remove it at the same time of day three weeks later. For some people, this makes it easier to deal with than the pill.
