Be Ready for Questions About the Annovera Vaginal Contraceptive Ring

December 2019

Annovera (an-oh-VAIR-ah, ethinyl estradiol/segesterone) will be touted as a "long-term" vaginal contraceptive ring that lasts for a year.

But it's really more like NuvaRing. It's NOT like the long-acting reversible contraceptives...an IUD (Mirena, etc) or implant (Nexplanon).

Annovera is a REUSABLE vaginal ring that's inserted for 21 days...removed for 7...then reinserted for up to 13 cycles, or 1 year.
