Summary

This study tested a new vaginal ring that releases the hormone levonorgestrel to prevent pregnancy. Over 1,000 women used the ring for 13 cycles. Researchers measured how well it worked and checked for side effects. The ring is designed to be a convenient, woman-controlled birth control method.
