A member asked:
Which hormone in bc has the greater influence on risk of cardiovascular incident? i'm on nuvaring, so low estrogen but a third generation progestin.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Individualized: Nuvaring has a low incidence of cardiovascular risk overall. Individuals must be assessed by their doctor to determine if they are a candidate for any form of hormonal contraception. In general the Estrogen in combined contraceptives represent the higher risk hormone.
