Sta je Nuva ring?

[Dea]

NuvaRing® or “the ring”, is a slender, flexible, transparent vaginal ring, about as big around as a silver dollar. It contains both estrogen and a progestin, which provide its contraceptive effects. After the ring is inserted, it releases a continuous low dose of these hormones into your body. It stays in place comfortably for 3 full weeks, then removed for a one-week ring-free period. A new NuvaRing® is then inserted. Pregnancy protection lasts a full month. Contraceptives that contain both an estrogen and a progestin are called combination hormonal contraceptives. Most studies on combination contraceptives have used oral contraceptives (the Pill). NuvaRing® may have the same risks that have been found for combination oral contraceptives, such as a blood clot, heart attack or stroke.

Effectiveness

The NuvaRing® is 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. After 4 weeks of consecutive use, the Ring is no longer considered effective.
A woman MUST reinsert a new ring every 4 weeks to maintain protection from pregnancy.
The Ring usually becomes effective within a few days of insertion, but use of an additional contraceptive method as back/up for 7 days with the first cycle of Ring use is highly recommended.

Women who have multiple sexual partners or us IV drugs—or whose sexual partners have other partners or use IV drugs—should use condoms even if they rely on the NuvaRing® for pregnancy protection.
Don’t Use NuvaRing® if:

You smoke. Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular side effects when you use combination oral contraceptives. This risk increases even more if you are over age 35 and if you smoke 15 or more * SPAM * a day. Women who use combination hormonal contraceptives, including NuvaRing®, are strongly advised not to smoke.
you think you may be pregnant
you have or have ever had blood clots in your legs, lungs, or eyes
you have known or suspected breast cancer or cancer of the endometrium, cervix or vagina, now or in the past
you have unexplained vaginal bleeding
jaundice during past use of oral contraceptives, or during pregnancy

breast nodules, fibrocystic disease, an abnormal breast x-ray or abnormal mammogram
diabetes
high blood pressure
high cholesterol or triglycerides
headaches or epilepsy
depression
gallbladder or kidney disease
impending major surgery (discuss with your clinician—s/he may want you to stop the patch for awhile to reduce the risk of a possible blood clot)
any condition that makes the vagina get irritated easily
prolapsed (dropped) uterus, dropped bladder (cystocele), or rectal prolapse (rectocele)
severe constipation
Possible side effects

vaginal infections and irritation
headache
nausea

How should I use NuvaRing®?

A complete gyn exam with a documented PAP smear within 6 months prior to starting the Ring
For the best protection from pregnancy, use NuvaRing® exactly as directed. Insert one NuvaRing® in the vagina and keep it in place for three weeks in a row. Remove it for a one-week break and then insert a new ring. During the one-week break, you will usually have your menstrual period. Your menstrual period will usually start two to three days after the ring is removed and may not have finished before the next ring is inserted. To continue to have pregnancy protection, you must insert the new ring one-week after the last one was removed, even if your menstrual period has not stopped.

@dragana petrovic:

Nuva ring jeste hormonski prsten koji se stavlja u vaginu od strane pacijenta i ostavlja tamo 3 nedjelje a onda izvadi i dobijete menstruaciju, i onda stavite drugi...tanak je prsten, lako se aplicira od strane pacijenta, ne omete seksulani zivot...vrlo pouzdan, ali nisam sigurna da je prisutan na Yu trzistu jos...tamo rijetko koriste i pilulu i depo proveru, iako su izvrstan nacin zastite protiv nezeljene trudnoce.

ili isto to jos jednom....

elasticni prsten natopljen hormonom koji se stavlja u vaginu ( svaka zena to sama radi ) ostaje tamo 3 nedjelje i onda se izvadi i nakon 2-3 dana pocne menstruacija. Prsten je veoma tanak i elastican i aplicira ga sam pacijent, gurnuvsi prsten sto dublje u vaginu...prsten sam nadje mjesto oko grlica i tamo osatje 3 nedjelje...kada prodje to vrijeme, stavite prst u vaginu zakacite prste i izvucete ga...nakon nedjelju dana stavite novi...djevojke ovo jako vole, jer ima istu efikasnost, absorbira se lokalno ( zaobilasi jetru ) i rasterecuje ih svakodnevnog razmisljanja. Partneri uopste ne osjete prsten u vagini, tako da ne utice na seksualno zadovoljstvo. I dalje...kondomi se moraju koristiti ako niste u stabilnoj monogamnoj dugogodisnjoj vezi. Prsten se zove NUVARING.

NUVA ring jos ne postoji na nasem trzistu!

Sto je totalno bezveze, mislim da je taj vid kontracepcije idealan za one koji su u dugoj monogamnoj vezi, a malo su zaboravni sto je takodje jedan od razloga zbog kojih se zene ne usudjuju da koriste pilule.

Ako se pojavi, molim vas objavite negde na forumu.

Ako ništa drugo dobro je otići kod ginekologa po pilule iz razloga što kad on napiše recept kontraceptivne pilule su upola jeftinije nego da se kupe bez recepta!

[_Raven_]

Pa i nije bas tako. Meni je doktorka prepisala Mercilon, kome je ista cena sa i bez recepta.

Ja koristim Nuva ring poslednjih par meseci i prezadovoljna sam. Sada sam cak i spojila cikluse tako da cu da dobijem samo cetiri puta godisnje, po preporuci lekara, jer je zdravije. Mnogo je lakse od pilule i ima manje propratnih efekata, makar za mene.

[Shmizla]

Ja pijem Diane 35 i nisam imala nekih vecih problema zbog pilule iako sam pocela da je uzimam bas pred more sa deckom. Posto sam putovala autobusom nekih 12 sati desilo mi se da su mi natekle noge,ali je to brzo proslo cim sam malo vise hodala i masirala stopala. Pored toga mi se desilo da sam imala produzen ciklus....tacnije,umesto da mi se menstruacija zavrsi,ja sam imala smedjikast sekret ponekad,ali nista strasno. Nije mi smetalo ni tokom sexa a ni tokom kupanja u moru. Povremeno sam samo stavljala tampone.
