Etonogestrel is a progestin usually used along with ethinyl estradiol in combined hormonal contraception for women. The most well-known products containing etonogestrel are the NuvaRing vaginal ring and the Nexplanon subdermal implant.

Like other combined hormonal contraceptives, etonogestrel inhibits pregnancy in several ways:

• Prevents ovulation;
• Thickens mucus in the cervix, making it more difficult for sperm to enter;
• Inhibits fertilized eggs from attaching to the uterus walls.

Most women buy etonogestrel products for convenience; they are as effective as birth control pills but don't require daily administration. Like other combined hormonal contraceptives, they also provide other benefits:

• Periods tend to be more regular and lighter
• Reduced menstrual cramps and PMS symptoms
• Reduced risk of developing cysts in ovaries or uterus
• Reduced risk of developing tumors in breasts
• Reduced risk of developing osteoporosis
• Reduced acne outbreaks

Also similar to other combined hormonal contraceptives, treatment may be stopped at any time and fertility will be restored.

Etonogestrel Implants

Subdermal implants provide maintenance-free birth control for 3 years. The implant is inserted in the upper arm with a special syringe, after a local anesthetic has been administered. Once in place, the implant slowly releases medication for the next 3 years, after which time the implant should be removed, or replaced if continued birth control is desired. Implants can be removed earlier as well, and effects will be reversed within a month, similar to ending treatment with birth control pills.

A downside that makes some women hesitant to buy etonogestrel implants is that the medication may interfere with other drugs, and since implants must be administered and removed by trained personnel in a doctor's office, this can be inconvenient.

Vaginal Rings

Vaginal rings are almost as low-maintenance as implants. They are administered at home once a month into the vagina; exact positioning is not important as long as there is no discomfort. Regular activities may commence as normal, including intercourse, tampon use, swimming, and so forth. After three weeks the ring is removed; menstruation typically begins a few days later. After one week a new ring is inserted.

Like implants, etonogestrel rings may interact with other medications. It is, however, considerably easier to stop and restart treatment with vaginal rings.

Considerations & Side Effects

Women planning to buy etonogestrel birth control products should be aware that:

• It may take 7 days before the products are effective after first use, or if use is interrupted.
• Like birth control pills, etonogestrel products may increase the risk of blood clots, hearth attack, and stroke; heavy smoking increases this risk.
• Women with a history of liver, kidney or gallbladder problems, heart attack, stroke, blood clots, any kind of cancer, and frequent vaginal infections should not buy etonogestrel birth control products without speaking to a doctor about additional risks.
• The product is unlikely to harm unborn babies, but use should be stopped immediately if pregnancy does occur.

The vast majority of women use etonogestrel products without any issues. Most side effects are very mild, and stop occurring after a week or two of treatment:

• Headache
• Mild breast pain
• Chills or sweating
• Mild nausea
• Loss of appetite
• Mild weight gain
• Difficulty sleeping

If the above side effects are severe, or any other unusual symptoms are noticed, seek the advice of a doctor.
