[edit] Article needs an image that demonstrates the size of the ring

It would be good to add a photo of the ring, lying on a table, next to a ruler with both metric and English measurements. The current photo shows what appears to be a very small hand holding the ring, which makes the ring look much larger than it is. Joie de Vivre 16:54, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Next time I open another pack I will take a picture with a penny in it or something.  :D --Sakura 11:02, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

That would be great. Lyrl^Talk _C 20:47, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Weight gain parameter in infobox

I would like to treat this parameter the same on all the hormonal contraception articles. Please read my opinion and discuss this issue at Talk:Combined oral contraceptive pill#Weight parameter in infobox. Lyrl^Talk _C 21:30, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Concise/clearer language needed under "Side effects"

The paragraph under "Side effects" which begins with "Etonogestrel, the specific progestin used in NuvaRing, is the active metabolite of the inactive prodrug desogestrel, one of two third-generation progestins..." is a heavy-handed paragraph with an extremely important message for users and potential users of the NuvaRing. I suggest that this paragraph and its language be less convoluted so that everyone can benefit from a comprehensive explanation of risk. (This does not necessarily mean the paragraph needs to be "dumbed down" but use less medical language, or be wary of its word choice. For example, breaking down that first sentence into smaller sentences, changing "venous thrombosis" to "blood clots" and explaining that "etonogestrel" is a hormone.)
