Anillo anticonceptivo
¿Qué es el anillo anticonceptivo?
The birth control ring (brand names: Annovera and NuvaRing) is a small, bendable plastic ring that you insert into your vagina. You leave it in place for three weeks at a time, then take it out for the fourth week. The main way the ring works is by giving off hormones that prevent your ovaries from releasing eggs.
There are two types of birth control rings, one that you can use over and over for up to a year (Annovera) and one type that is replaced monthly (NuvaRing or its generic versions).

Tipos de anillos anticonceptivos
Anual (Annovera)
Annovera is a birth control ring that you can use for up to a year. You place it inside your vagina, leave it there for three weeks, then take it out and leave it out for one week, which is usually when you’ll have a withdrawal bleed (similar to a period). During this time you store it in its own little case. Then you put it back in for the next cycle.
Mensual (NuvaRing)
The NuvaRing is a birth control ring that you replace monthly. Just like with Annovera, you put it inside your vagina, leave it there for three weeks, then take it out and don’t put a new one in for one week, which is usually when you’ll have a withdrawal bleed (similar to a period). At the end of that week, you insert a new ring.
