About Nuvaring (Etonogestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol)
How does it work?
Nuvaring is a flexible ring that’s inserted into the vagina once a month. It releases hormones that prevent the ovaries from releasing eggs. It also thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach an egg. In addition, it thins out the lining of the uterus so it’s harder for an egg to implant.
What symptoms or conditions can it help manage?
- Heavy menstrual bleeding
- Painful periods
- Acne
- Regulates your cycle
- Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) symptoms
- Ovarian cysts
What forms does it come in?
Nuvaring is a flexible, latex-free ring that you insert into your vagina once a month. It slowly releases hormones to prevent pregnancy.
Nuvaring vs. Etonogestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol
Etonogestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol are the active ingredients in Nuvaring. These hormones can also be found in other generic forms of this medicine, like EluRyng or Etonogestrel / Ethinyl Estradiol.
How much will it cost?
Dr. B offers online consultations for $15—which is less than most copays. If a birth control prescription is appropriate, your out-of-pocket medication cost will depend on your insurance and where you decide to get your prescription filled. With a drug discount card, prices for Eluryng (3 1-ring, vaginal boxs) start at $119.95.

How do I use this medication?
Insert the ring into your vagina once a month, typically on the same day each month. Leave it in place for three weeks, then remove it for a one-week break before inserting a new one. You can also put a new ring in right away if you want to safely skip your period.
What happens if I miss a dose?
If you forget to insert Nuvaring on your usual day, you should put it in as soon as you remember. Just use a backup contraceptive method, like condoms, for the next seven days. If you’ve forgotten your ring for a few days, contact your healthcare provider for advice.
If you forget to remove your Nuvaring on time–no need to worry; this can happen to anyone occasionally. Remove your Nuvaring when you remember, even if it's been in for more days than recommended. Don't put in a new one right away. For added protection, you might consider using condoms or another type of birth control for the next seven days. After taking out the Nuvaring, wait for seven days before inserting a new one according to your regular schedule. If you're unsure about what to do or have more questions, don't hesitate to ask your healthcare provider.
What happens if I use too much?
Don’t use more than one Nuvaring at a time. If you’ve accidentally used an extra Nuvaring, call your medical provider or local poison control center (800-222-1222) immediately.
