The vaginal ring is a small, flexible ring a woman inserts into her vagina once a month to prevent pregnancy. It is left in place for three weeks and taken out for the remaining week each month. The vaginal ring is commonly called NuvaRing, its brand name.
Like other methods of birth control, NuvaRing releases hormones. Hormones are chemicals made in our bodies. They control how different parts of our bodies work.
The hormones in NuvaRing are the same hormones as in the birth control pill — estrogen and progestin.
The hormones in the ring work by
• Keeping eggs from leaving the ovaries. Pregnancy cannot happen if there is no egg to join with the sperm.
• Making cervical mucus thicker. This keeps sperm from getting to the eggs.
