How effective is the Nuvaring?

Answer by  munkinmom (48)

According to the Food & Drug Administration, the Nuvaring is 99% effective against pregnancy when used correctly. The NuvaRing is fully effective 7 days after it is inserted into the vagina. However, it does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, so it is strongly recommended that condoms still be used.

With perfect use, the Nuvaring is 99.7% effective. That means that less than one woman out of a hundred will become pregnant with perfect use. For typical use, the rate falls to 92%.

Nuvaring is 99% effective when used correctly. The important part is the phrase 'when used correctly'. This is comparable to the combined hormonal pill's effectiveness.
