I had a recent call about Nuvoring, too. It is not in Hale's book, but I
did a search on the internet and got the manufacturer's info. It is a
combination product containing both estrogen and progesterone. It is
contained in a flexible ring that is placed against the cervix and left
there for 3 weeks. It is removed during menses and a new one is inserted
the following week. It must be left in place at all times during those 3
weeks of the month. It secretes a constant low-dose of estrogen and
progesterone. Because it contains estrogen, it has the potential to affect
the milk supply the same way low-dose birth control pills do.
