Could someone please tell me how much the Nuva ring costs per month? And also, what other types of birth control would you recommend for a virgin who's getting married in May? Thanks.

Hi aprilflower88, welcome!

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

The cost of NuvaRing will depend on where you buy it and if you have insurance that will pay some of the cost. Cl-Judie uses NuvaRing and she pays $40+ per ring. The cost may be less where you are if you buy from one of the big box discount pharmacies like K-Mart, Wal-Mart, and Costco etc. It would be a good Idea to call around to pharmacies in your area and see what they charge. If I were ever to go back on hormones I would try NuvaRing www.nuvaring.com first because it has the lowest amount of hormones in it and it is very low maintenance so it's hard to make a mistake while using it.

When you do decide on a method of birth control it would be a good idea to start it right away because with hormones there is an adjustment interval of several cycles and if you decide on a different prescription method like cervical barriers you would need to be fitted and learn to insert and remove it correctly. It's not rocket science at all but consultation appointments and fittings take time.

Since you are new to birth control you might want to read the posts in our FAQs. There is a lot of good information there about choosing a method that's right for you, side effects and using BCPs correctly as well as IUDs and Cervical barriers.

Thanks for posting. Please ask if you have more questions. Let us know what you decide and how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill
