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.

A mom asked me today about the new contraceptive nuva ring and information
on any hormones that it contains.  She is nursing a 2 1/2 year old.  The
minipill drastically lowered her milk supply.  Hope the spelling is correct.
