How effective is the NuvaRing?

When can I start using NuvaRing?
You can start using NuvaRing at any point during your menstrual cycle. If you begin NuvaRing during the first five days of your period, it'll work immediately. Starting on any other day of your menstrual cycle will take seven days to prevent pregnancy.
What does NuvaRing feel like when it is inserted?
When inserted correctly, you shouldn't be able to feel NuvaRing. If you experience any vaginal irritation, try pushing NuvaRing up higher.
Will my partner or I feel NuvaRing during sexual intercourse?
Your partner may feel NuvaRing during sexual intercourse. However, NuvaRing is unlikely to affect you or your partner's ability to feel pleasure during penetrative sex.
Does NuvaRing protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)?
No, NuvaRing does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases or sexually transmitted infections, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Barrier methods, such as condoms or the cervical cap, can lower your risk of pregnancy while preventing STDs and STIs.
Do hormonal birth control methods cause cancer?
Hormonal contraceptives may cause an increased risk of breast cancer and cervical cancer. The risks of endometrial, ovarian, and colorectal cancers are lower in women who use hormonal birth control.
