NuvaRing
Monthly hormonal ring
NuvaRing is a brand of hormonal contraceptive—a flexible plastic ring inserted into the vagina, where it releases estrogen and progestin to prevent pregnancy.
It stays in place for three weeks, then is removed for one week.
She switched from the pill to NuvaRing for convenience.
