Nuvaring in Canada?

So I have my gyn appt next wednesday, and I'm thinking of re-evaulating my b/c choice (currently on marvelon/desogen oral contraceptive). As a full-time university student with a full time job in the evenings, I have a pretty hectic schudule, and it's almost impossible to take it at the right time. I really like the idea of nuvaring, but have heard that it's not yet availible in Canada - is this true? can someone fill me in?

Thanks,

So far, I haven't heard that the ring is available in Canada yet. You might call any pharmacy to see if they carry it or just wait and ask your doctor. I'm not sure why it hasn't gotten approval from the Canadian equivalent of our Food and Drug Administration, it's widely available in Europe and the US.

I hope it becomes available soon!
