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.hink about monthly NuvaRing instead.
