Contraception choices...can't make a decision

[RainbowRiver]

I loved the nuva ring when I was on it (only used for keeping AF in cycle, not as contraception). Can't comment if it works or not in prevention. It's a little expensive but worth it

Thanks Rosetti, expense isn't an issue up here, we go through the aboriginal health campus and all medications are completely free for all members of the public regardless of race. Sorry if this is too much info, but can DH "feel" the nuva ring when DTD? and is it easy to place? I cant get my head around putting this plastic ring "there" and just putting all my faith in it to work lol At least with condoms you know they have worked!

If there's no cost, then I'd definitely be going on the ring. DH could never feel it (I used to have visions of it coming out stuck around his penis lol), never did though! Was easy to put in, squeeze the ring in the middle and place it inside like a tampon. Never knew it was in there. 3 weeks later I'd change it to avoid AF. Every 3-4 months I'd have AF then go back to every 3 weeks again. If I had to pick between pill, iud, condom, depo or nuva ring, nuva would win hands down. I liked it heaps

I used to have mirena and he always felt the strings and later he pulled it out due to continuos bleeding and millions of other issues
