    Women Nuvaring Help? Long Term Travel With The Nuvaring

    Hello fellow women travelers, I am currently in the process of figuring out my long term birth control options. I was on the Nuvaring which I LOVED and tried a pill for a month which was terrible with its side effects. Are there any travelers out there that are aware of how easy it is to find the Nuva ring? I am planning on bring 4 with me and then try to locate more on the road.

    Please note, my doctor told me my cervix is too small for a IUD.

    Does any one know how easy they are to find in South America? Do you need a script?

    I have updated my post on long term birth control options for women travelers. Specifically, this also contains my research on countries that I was able to purchase the NuvaRing without a prescription from a physician. Call it "field work!" I hope this information is useful to other women. This was one of my biggest worries prior to my long term travels

    I've been refraining from answering this Audrey as a) I was hoping other women may have the answer for you and b ) to be honest it's not my area of expertise. I do know that it is available in SOME countries across South America, Chile for example, and I'm pretty sure Argentina too, but I don't know if they will be stocked by every chemist. To be honest it's not something I have ever looked for or thought to check (obviously). I certainly don't know whether laws in individual countries would require a prescription either.

    I would suggest using condoms instead, as I know they are definitely readily available.

    See? Not a lot of info out there. I vow to write posts on this topic on my website as there is little info out there for us women who are long term travelers!
