Description
Both Annovera and Annovera generic are a combination hormonal birth control ring that serves as a birth control alternative for women. Birth control rings are a different type of IUD (intrauterine) birth control method. The primary difference with the Annovera birth control ring is that it is an annual birth control ring.
This means that Annovera generic and Annovera provide a full 12 months of birth control before needing to be replaced. The only requirement is that you remove and wash it every 3 weeks of a month and then leave it out for the 4th week. Annovera provides 97% effective birth control and you can buy Annovera online.
Directions
Using the Annovera generic birth control ring is easy. The first thing you need to do is clean it by washing the ring with mild soap and lukewarm water and then patting it dry with a clean cloth towel or paper towel. Next, you’ll use your thumb and forefinger to squish the Annovera ring into a narrow oval shape.
It is best to be in a comfortable position to insert this annual birth control ring. For most women that’s a choice between lying down, squatting, or standing with 1 leg up on something of an appropriate height, like a toilet seat for example. Now you insert the Annovera generic birth control ring as far as possible.
From there you’re set. It can remain there for 3 weeks, but no longer than that. After 3 weeks you remove this birth control ring, wash it, and then leave it out for 1 week. Then repeat, and up to one year since your first cycle with Annovera.
Ingredients
The active ingredients in Annovera generic are segesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol.
