Default How do the hormones in nuvaring work? what does it do to my body? - 02-07-2009, 09:22 AM

I have just started using nuvaring, and i was wondering what the hormones do to my body to prevent pregnancy? I have heard of two different types of birth control, the type that stops you from releasing an egg, and another kind that stops the egg from attaching to your uterus. I have looked over all my info and on the website and nothing tells me the actual process that happens. Please only answer this question if you know the answer. Thank you!

From my understanding, the nuvaring is NOT an IUD (inter-uterine device) and does obstruct a fertilized egg from attaching.It's just a vehile in which a month's supply of hormone's is released into your body. Kinda like a one-stop for monthly birthcontrol. No pills, no weekly patch. But unlike the shot, if you begin to experience adverse symptoms/reactions, it can be removed. As with depo-shot, you have to ride it out and deal.

The hormones in Nuvaring work similarly to the pill -- they are intended to prevent ovulation (releasing an egg). The Nuvaring website states:"NuvaRing® contains two types of hormones, an estrogen and a progestin (just like the Pill), that prevent your ovaries from producing mature eggs. NuvaRing® provides benefits similar to oral contraceptives, but without the daily pill-taking routine."Plan B (emergency contraception), too, works primarily by preventing ovulation; it may also prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterine wall, but this function is not well understood.
