Vaginal Ring
The vaginal Ring has been studied since the 1970s but became
available in 2009. (Fpa.org.uk
2010) The vaginal Ring works a
bit like the pill, except you insert it
into the vagina. It stays inside the
vagina for 21 days and releases
oestrogen and progesterone in
order to prevent ovulation and
thicken the cervical mucus. After
21 days, you take it out and throw
it away. You have your period, and
then insert another new one for 21
days again.
