Like the "classical" pill
NuvaRing® hinders ovulation and the speed of sperm
motion thus reliably preventing pregnancy.
Since the
actual position of the ring in the vagina has no influence on its function
a woman can put it where it is the most comfortable for her. Due
to its flexiblility the ring "fits" every woman.
The ring remains 21 days
inside the vagina constantly emitting hormones that are absorbed via the
mucous membrane.
After
three
weeks the ring is removed completely by simply taking it out.
During the following week without the ring the menstrual period starts
- usually 3 days after the ring has been taken out.
Then a new ring has to be inserted for the next
three weeks.
