Insurance that helps pay expenses for nursing care or other help in old age sounds like a great idea. But when companies started selling long-term-care insurance policies decades ago they did a poor job of figuring out how much to charge, forcing them to repeatedly raise rates to consumers.
Just yesterday I went to the doctor to start on the NuvaRing. The doctor had me insert the ring at the appointment even though I'm at day 15 of my cycle. When I got home, I read that women who are starting NuvaRing who haven't been on another form of oral contraceptive should start the ring between days 1 and 5 of their cycle.
Think about monthly NuvaRing instead. NuvaRing is a small, flexible vaginal ring used to prevent pregnancy. You put it in for 3 weeks, take it out, then put a new one in a week later. It's just as effective as the pill when used as directed, and you don't have to think about taking it every day.o not use NuvaRing if you smoke cigarettes and are over age 35. Smoking increases your risk of serious heart and blood vessel problems from combination hormonal contraceptives (CHCs) including heart attack, blood clots, or stroke which can be fatal. This risk increases with age and the number of cigarettes smoked.
