Replens with Birth Control?

Hello. I am using Nuvaring right now and haven't really had any problems with it. Before I was using Lo-Ovral and hated it. Before using birth control, I had no problem getting naturally lubricated for sex. Lo-Ovral made me so dry...in fact, I stopped using it after a week because I was afraid I would get a yeast infection. Nuvaring is better, but I would like to regain my natural moisture. If I used something like Replens or Silk-E, will that effect my use of the Nuvaring? It won't make it ineffective will it? Thanks...

Hi Hanna, welcome!

I wouldn’t think Replens or Silk-E would reduce the effectiveness of NuvaRing, however I don’t know for sure. If I were you I’d call the NuvaRing toll free number and ask them about it. Their information line is:1-877-NUVARING (1-877-688-2746) Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. EST

Let us know what they say, ok?

Good luck,
