The nuva ring is a dual hormone contraceptive and it likely will have the same effect on milk supply as other standard methods of birth control. At least it can be removed if it does, whereas with Depo - once you have given it, you cant take it back.

She is nursing a 2 1/2 year old. The minipill drastically lowered her milk supply. Hope the spelling is correct.
