Just wondering how everyone gets over the fact of trusting hormones...I always trusted my pill, but maybe thats because I knew when I was taking it and that it was me controlling the hormones going into my body. Now that I'm on Nuvaring, I don't get that same control...even though there isnt much control anyway. But how do you know that little piece of plastic is doing its job? What happens if it doesn't?

I have been using it for 2 years now and I know it works cause I haven't been pregnant. Seriously, the Nuvaring is safer than the pill. the hormones are right where they should be, namely around your cervix.
