Yes, it definitely takes dedication to make sure you're being extra safe during ovualtion and when you're most fertile! But just do what works best for you!! Good luck girl!

Its also very easy to remember when to change it. You start on a Sunday and then you keep it in for three entire weeks, then you can put a new one in right away to avoid periods, or you can give yourself a week break to have your period and then you put a new one in on the next Sunday.

I really liked the Nuva Ring except for it gave me really sharp pains. It is definitely worth a try though in my opinion. It didn't bother me at all and we didn't even need to take it out to have sex. It does kinda come out like if you're pooping or something but I could always feel it and would just push it back in. Some people say it falls out and I could see how that would be kinda gross, but I could always feel if it was coming out... The side effects are different for everyone and I could not handle the pain after three months, but that could very well not happen to you.

@peaceandhippielove,

you and your daughter are adorable. and i definitely wish i could count on myself to keep track of my fertility cycles enough to avoid getting pregnant any sooner than id like. i cant even count on myself enough to take my bc every single day. but i guess im just gonna have to be on top of it and get back on the pill because it definitely worked best for me with no extra side effects

You can try Natural Family Planning? That's what my husband and I are doing. I'm not a fan of BC, messes up my body too much! 😕
