You could save yourself a ton of trouble and get the ring.

I can’t say enough about how happy I am to have found Nuvaring. I have a terrible time taking pills every day (just ask my thyroid) and I have had no bad side effects from the lower dose of hormones.

I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. Maybe if Mircette doesn’t work out, you could try it.

FWIW, I tried OrthoTricyclen, Depo, and the patch before finding the ring.
