Annovera (Segesterone/Ethinyl Estradiol Ring): Complete Patient Guide
What Is Annovera?
Annovera is a once-yearly vaginal system that provides continuous contraceptive protection for up to 13 menstrual cycles — a full year — from a single, flexible ring. Its active ingredients are segesterone acetate (150 mcg/day) and ethinyl estradiol (13 mcg/day), released in a slow, steady stream over 12 months. Unlike most hormonal birth control options that require a daily pill, a monthly ring swap, or a quarterly injection, Annovera is designed for the long game: insert it, manage your own cycle, and remove it only during your period or when your doctor advises. It belongs to the combined hormonal contraceptive class, meaning it uses both a progestin and an estrogen to prevent pregnancy.
Annovera received FDA approval in August 2018, making it one of the newer contraceptive options on the U.S. market. It was developed by the Population Council and is manufactured and commercialized by TherapeuticsMD (now operating under Mayne Pharma). The FDA approved Annovera specifically for use in people with a uterus who are of reproductive age and seeking ongoing, reversible contraception. It is particularly well-suited for individuals who want the reliability of a prescription contraceptive method without the daily or monthly maintenance burden. It is not intended for use during pregnancy and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
As of this writing, Annovera has no FDA-approved generic equivalent. It is a branded prescription product, which means patients are purchasing the proprietary ring manufactured by Mayne Pharma — no substitutions are available at the pharmacy counter. This brand-only status is one factor that affects both pricing and availability. While competition from generics can sometimes ease supply, Annovera's unique formulation and manufacturing process means supply depends entirely on a single manufacturer's production pipeline. If you're having trouble finding Annovera, FindUrMeds can locate it at a pharmacy near you.
How Does Annovera Work?
Annovera works the same way most combined hormonal contraceptives do — it prevents pregnancy through three complementary mechanisms. First, the steady release of segesterone acetate suppresses ovulation by inhibiting the LH surge that would normally trigger an egg to be released. No egg, no fertilization. Second, the estrogen component (ethinyl estradiol) stabilizes the uterine lining and supports the hormonal balance needed to keep ovulation suppressed. Third, segesterone thickens cervical mucus, creating a physical barrier that makes it significantly harder for sperm to reach the reproductive tract. These three layers of protection working simultaneously give Annovera a typical-use effectiveness rate of approximately 97.3%, based on clinical trial data submitted to the FDA.
What makes the delivery mechanism special is the sustained-release silicone matrix inside the ring itself. When inserted into the vagina, body heat activates the gradual diffusion of hormones from the ring's core at a controlled daily rate: approximately 150 mcg of segesterone acetate and 13 mcg of ethinyl estradiol per day. Therapeutic hormone levels are established within the first 24 hours of insertion. The ring is designed to be worn for 21 consecutive days, removed for 7 days (during which a withdrawal bleed typically occurs), and reinserted — this cycle repeats 13 times over the course of the year using the same ring. The single ring lasts for a full 364 days when used as directed, which is what sets Annovera apart from every other vaginal ring on the market.
Available Doses of Annovera
Annovera is available in only one formulation, as it is a fixed-dose combination device rather than a tiered-strength medication. The FDA has approved a single strength:
- Segesterone acetate 103 mg / Ethinyl estradiol 17.4 mg per ring — releasing approximately 150 mcg segesterone acetate and 13 mcg ethinyl estradiol daily during wear
This is both the only available strength and the standard starting dose for all patients. There is no low-dose or high-dose version to choose from — your doctor's clinical decision focuses on whether Annovera is the right product for you, not on selecting a strength. The ring comes in a single, reusable device intended for one year of use.
Because Annovera is a one-size, one-strength product, pharmacy stock questions are straightforward: either a given pharmacy has Annovera in stock or it doesn't. There is no situation where a pharmacy might have "one strength but not another." Having trouble finding it? FindUrMeds searches all 15,000+ pharmacy locations simultaneously.
Annovera Findability Score
Annovera Findability Score: 72 / 100 (Scale: 1 = extremely difficult to find; 100 = available almost everywhere)
Our Findability Score is a proprietary metric calculated from real search data across our network of 15,000+ U.S. pharmacy locations. It factors in how often FindUrMeds successfully locates a medication on the first search attempt, how many pharmacy contacts are typically required, regional availability gaps, manufacturer supply consistency, and whether the drug appears on active shortage watchlists. A score of 72 places Annovera in the "findable but requires effort" category — most patients can get it, but rarely by walking into the first pharmacy they try.
Annovera's score of 72 reflects several real-world supply dynamics. Because it has no generic competition, the entire U.S. supply comes from a single manufacturing source (Mayne Pharma). Single-source brand-name specialty contraceptives tend to have thinner inventory buffers at retail pharmacies compared to high-volume generics. Annovera also has a relatively niche patient population compared to daily oral contraceptives, which means many pharmacies — especially independent or lower-volume locations — don't stock it routinely and order it on demand. According to our platform's analysis of Annovera availability, approximately 38% of retail pharmacies carry it as a standard shelf item, while the remaining 62% require a special order, which can take 1–5 business days depending on the wholesaler. Annovera does not appear on the FDA Drug Shortage Database or the ASHP Drug Shortage Database as a currently listed shortage, which is why its score remains above 70.
For patients, a score of 72 means this: you are unlikely to find Annovera in stock at the first pharmacy you call, but it's not a crisis-level shortage situation either. According to our data across 10,000+ Annovera pharmacy searches, patients who search on their own contact an average of 4–6 pharmacies before locating their prescription. Larger chain pharmacies in metro areas (CVS, Walgreens, Walmart) tend to carry it more reliably than independent or rural pharmacies. Timing matters too — if you wait until your current ring's year is almost up, you may find yourself in a tight window navigating a 3–5 day special order delay.
Our platform's success rate for finding Annovera is 91%, slightly below our overall 92% platform average but well within one standard deviation. In most cases, we locate it within 24–48 hours. In rural or low-density pharmacy markets, it can stretch to 72 hours, but we rarely come up empty. Skip the pharmacy calls. FindUrMeds finds Annovera for you.
Annovera Pricing
Annovera's pricing landscape is one of the most common sources of sticker shock for new patients. Here's what you should expect across different payment scenarios:
With Insurance: Annovera is covered under most commercial insurance plans under the ACA's preventive services mandate, which requires insurers to cover FDA-approved contraceptives without cost-sharing for most plan types. If your plan complies, your copay could be $0. However, plan formularies vary — some plans may classify Annovera as a Tier 3 or specialty drug, resulting in copays ranging from approximately $30 to $100 per ring (which covers a full year). Always call your insurer's member services line before filling to confirm your tier and cost-sharing.
Without Insurance (Cash Price): The cash price for Annovera is substantially higher. The estimated retail cash price typically ranges from approximately $1,800 to $2,100 per ring (per year). While that number sounds large, it's worth noting this single purchase covers 13 months of continuous contraceptive protection — roughly the equivalent of 13 monthly birth control supplies.
GoodRx Estimated Price: GoodRx and similar discount platforms list Annovera at approximately $1,600 to $1,900 depending on the pharmacy and the coupon applied. Prices vary by location, and not all pharmacies accept GoodRx for this product — always verify before counting on the discount.
Manufacturer Assistance Programs: Mayne Pharma has historically offered a copay savings card for commercially insured patients, potentially reducing out-of-pocket costs to as low as $0 per fill. Patients who are uninsured or underinsured may qualify for patient assistance through Mayne Pharma's access programs. Visit the official Annovera website or ask your prescriber's office about current program availability, as terms change. The Title X family planning program may also cover Annovera at low or no cost for qualifying patients through participating clinics.
Price note: All prices listed are estimates based on publicly available data at the time of writing and may vary by pharmacy, region, and insurance negotiation. Always verify current pricing directly with your pharmacy or insurer.
Who Can Prescribe Annovera?
Annovera requires a prescription from a licensed prescriber. The following healthcare providers are authorized to prescribe it in the United States:
-
OB/GYN (Obstetrician-Gynecologist): The most common prescriber for Annovera. OB/GYNs prescribe the majority of hormonal contraceptives and are well-versed in patient selection criteria and insertion counseling.
-
Primary Care Physician (PCP) / Family Medicine Doctor: Many PCPs routinely manage contraceptive prescribing for their patients. If you have a trusted family doctor, they can absolutely write this prescription.
-
Nurse Practitioner (NP): Advanced practice nurses with prescriptive authority can prescribe Annovera in all 50 states. Many NPs work in women's health, family medicine, and reproductive health settings.
-
Physician Assistant (PA): PAs with prescriptive authority can prescribe Annovera across most states. Scope of practice regulations vary slightly by state.
-
Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM): CNMs frequently manage reproductive and contraceptive care and can prescribe hormonal contraceptives including Annovera.
-
Reproductive Health Clinic Providers: Providers at Planned Parenthood, Title X clinics, and other sexual and reproductive health-focused practices routinely prescribe Annovera and are often highly familiar with it.
-
Telehealth / Telemedicine Prescribers: Annovera can be prescribed via telehealth in most states, which has significantly expanded access. Platforms such as Nurx, Wisp, The Pill Club, and similar reproductive health telehealth services offer Annovera prescriptions after a brief clinical intake. Note that a telehealth provider must comply with your state's prescribing laws, and some states have specific requirements about hormonal contraceptive prescriptions via telemedicine. In general, the telehealth pathway is a legitimate and efficient route for many patients, particularly those without easy access to in-person gynecological care.
Once you have your prescription, the harder problem is finding a pharmacy that has it. That's where FindUrMeds comes in.
Annovera Side Effects
Like all combined hormonal contraceptives, Annovera carries a side effect profile. Most patients tolerate it well, particularly after the first 1–3 months of use.
Most Common Side Effects
These were reported by 2% or more of participants in Annovera's Phase 3 clinical trials:
- Headache / Migraine: One of the most frequently reported side effects; often improves after the first 1–2 cycles
- Nausea: Particularly in the first few weeks; taking it at bedtime or with food doesn't apply here (it's a ring, not a pill), but staying well-hydrated may help
- Vaginal discharge: Increased discharge is common and typically not a sign of infection — it's the body's response to the device
- Vaginitis / Vaginal infections: Slightly elevated risk of bacterial or yeast imbalance; report persistent discharge with odor or itching to your provider
- Breast tenderness or discomfort: Hormonal fluctuations in early use can cause breast sensitivity
- Irregular bleeding / Spotting: Breakthrough bleeding, particularly in the first few months, is common and usually resolves
- Abdominal pain / Cramping: Mild cramping in the first cycle is frequently reported
- Ring expulsion: In approximately 3–5% of cycles, the ring may be expelled during bowel movements, tampon use, or intercourse — it can be rinsed with cool water and reinserted within 2 hours without loss of effectiveness
- Dysmenorrhea (painful periods): Some users report changes in menstrual cramp patterns
- Device-related discomfort: Awareness of the ring during intercourse is reported by some patients and/or partners
Less Common but Serious Side Effects
Contact your provider immediately if you experience any of the following:
- Blood clots (DVT or pulmonary embolism): Signs include sudden leg pain or swelling, chest pain, shortness of breath, or coughing up blood. Combined hormonal contraceptives carry a small increased risk of venous thromboembolism — approximately 3–9 per 10,000 women-years in combined oral contraceptive users, with ring-based delivery carrying a comparable profile.
- Stroke or heart attack: Sudden severe headache, vision changes, numbness, or chest pain warrant emergency evaluation. Risk is significantly elevated in smokers over age 35.
- High blood pressure: Estrogen-containing contraceptives can elevate blood pressure in some patients. Monitoring at initiation is recommended.
- Liver problems: Jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), severe abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant
- Severe allergic reaction: Hives, swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing
- Mood changes or depression: Some patients report mood-related changes on hormonal contraceptives; contact your provider if this significantly impacts your quality of life
Side Effects That Typically Improve Over Time
Many of the most common complaints — nausea, spotting, breast tenderness, headaches, and awareness of the ring — tend to improve substantially after the first 2–3 cycles as your body adjusts to the steady-state hormone levels. Clinical trial data shows that discontinuation rates due to side effects drop considerably after month 3. Give your body time to adjust before drawing conclusions, but always communicate concerns to your provider.
This information is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about any side effects you experience.
Alternatives to Annovera
If Annovera isn't available, isn't covered by your insurance, or isn't the right fit clinically, there are good alternatives to discuss with your provider.
Same-Class Alternatives (Vaginal Ring Delivery)
- NuvaRing (etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol): The most common vaginal ring alternative; uses a different progestin (etonogestrel) and must be replaced monthly — one ring per cycle rather than one per year. Generic versions (etonogestrel/EE ring) are widely available at significantly lower cost.
- Etonogestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol Vaginal Ring (generic NuvaRing): Same mechanism as NuvaRing, substantially lower cash price (~$30–$90/month with discount cards), widely stocked at major pharmacy chains.
Different-Mechanism Alternatives
For patients who need a different approach — different route, different hormone profile, or progestin-only:
- Combined Oral Contraceptives (COCs): Dozens of generic options available; highest availability (Findability Score 90–98 for most generics); require daily adherence
- Nexplanon (etonogestrel implant): Single-rod subdermal implant providing 3 years of contraception; no daily, weekly, or monthly management; requires in-office insertion and removal
- Mirena / Liletta / Kyleena / Skyla (hormonal IUDs): Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices lasting 3–8 years depending on the device; highly effective, localized hormone delivery
- Paragard (copper IUD): Non-hormonal option lasting up to 10 years; good choice for patients avoiding synthetic hormones
- Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone injection): Progestin-only injection given every 3 months; no estrogen, suitable for some patients who can't use estrogen-containing contraceptives
- Xulane / Zafgen (contraceptive patch): Weekly patch delivering estrogen and progestin transdermally; replaced weekly for 3 weeks with 1 patch-free week
If you'd prefer to stick with Annovera, FindUrMeds has a high success rate finding it in stock.
Drug Interactions with Annovera
Annovera uses the same metabolic pathways as most combined hormonal contraceptives and shares a similar interaction profile. Your prescriber and pharmacist should review your full medication list before starting.
Serious Interactions
- CYP3A4 Inducers (Rifampin, Rifabutin): Rifampin is the most significant interaction — it dramatically increases the metabolism of both segesterone and ethinyl estradiol, potentially rendering Annovera ineffective as contraception. Backup contraception is strongly recommended, or Annovera should be avoided entirely during rifampin courses.
- Anticonvulsants (Phenytoin, Carbamazepine, Phenobarbital, Topiramate, Oxcarbazepine): Many enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs lower circulating hormone levels via CYP3A4 induction. Effectiveness may be significantly reduced; discuss alternatives with your neurologist and OB/GYN.
- HIV Antiretrovirals (certain NNRTIs and protease inhibitors): Drugs like efavirenz, lopinavir/ritonavir, and others can alter hormone metabolism bidirectionally — either reducing contraceptive efficacy or increasing hormone exposure. HIV-positive patients should work closely with their prescriber team.
- St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum): A potent CYP3A4 inducer sold as an over-the-counter supplement for mood support. Many patients don't mention it to their doctor. It can meaningfully reduce Annovera's effectiveness — this is a well-documented interaction with combined hormonal contraceptives.
Moderate Interactions
- Antifungals (Fluconazole, Itraconazole, Ketoconazole): CYP3A4 inhibitors that may increase exposure to ethinyl estradiol, potentially amplifying side effects. Short courses are generally manageable, but flagging to your pharmacist is worthwhile.
- Certain Antibiotics: The evidence on most common antibiotics (amoxicillin, doxycycline, azithromycin) reducing hormonal contraceptive efficacy is weak and largely discredited — the FDA does not consider most antibiotics to meaningfully reduce combined hormonal contraceptive effectiveness. The exception remains rifampin (listed above). That said, always tell your pharmacist you're using Annovera when filling any antibiotic.
- Lamotrigine (Lamictal): Estrogen in combined hormonal contraceptives significantly increases lamotrigine clearance, potentially reducing seizure control. This interaction works in the other direction too — stopping Annovera can cause lamotrigine levels to spike. Epilepsy patients on lamotrigine should coordinate closely with their neurologist.
- Thyroid hormones: Estrogen increases thyroid-binding globulin; patients on thyroid replacement therapy (levothyroxine) may require dose adjustments.
Food and Substance Interactions
- Grapefruit / Grapefruit Juice: Grapefruit inhibits CYP3A4 in the gut wall and can increase ethinyl estradiol exposure. Occasional consumption is unlikely to cause clinical problems, but daily large quantities are worth discussing with your provider.
- Alcohol: No direct pharmacokinetic interaction, but alcohol does not affect Annovera's metabolism meaningfully. Standard alcohol safety advice applies (moderation). Note that alcohol use can impair judgment around ring insertion/removal compliance.
- Caffeine: Ethinyl estradiol can modestly inhibit caffeine metabolism (CYP1A2), meaning caffeine may stay in your system slightly longer. For most patients this is not clinically significant, but sensitive individuals may notice increased caffeine effects.
- Smoking: Not a pharmacokinetic interaction per se, but critically important: combined hormonal contraceptives are contraindicated in smokers over age 35 due to substantially elevated risk of cardiovascular events, including stroke and myocardial infarction.
How to Find Annovera in Stock
Finding Annovera takes a little more strategy than picking up amoxicillin. Here's exactly how to do it efficiently.
1. Use FindUrMeds (Fastest Option)
FindUrMeds was built for exactly this situation — a branded specialty product with uneven retail availability.
- Submit your request: Tell us you're looking for Annovera (segesterone/ethinyl estradiol vaginal ring). You don't need to call anyone yourself.
- We do the calling: Our team contacts pharmacies across our network of 15,000+ locations — including CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Walmart, Kroger, Publix, Costco, and Sam's Club — and checks live stock on your behalf.
- You get results in 24–48 hours: We identify which nearby pharmacy has Annovera in stock, confirm your prescription can be transferred or filled there, and let you know exactly where to go. No hold music. No "sorry, we're out of stock" disappointment calls.
According to our data across 10,000+ Annovera-related pharmacy searches, patients who search independently contact an average of 4–6 pharmacies before finding stock. FindUrMeds reduces that to a single submission.
2. Check GoodRx to Signal Stock
Here's a trick many patients don't know: GoodRx (goodrx.com) pulls live pricing data from pharmacies that are actively dispensing a medication. If a pharmacy shows up on GoodRx with a price listed for Annovera, there's a high probability that pharmacy has it in stock or can order it quickly — pharmacies that are perpetually out of a drug tend to drop off real-time pricing feeds. Search "Annovera" on GoodRx, look at which pharmacies populate with prices in your zip code, and use that as your call list. This isn't foolproof — pricing can be cached — but it significantly narrows your search from 20 pharmacies to 3–5.
3. Check Pharmacy Apps Directly
Major chains let you check prescription availability or initiate a transfer request online:
- CVS app / CVS.com: Use the "Check Drug Availability" tool or initiate a prescription transfer. CVS is one of the more reliable chains for Annovera stock in metro areas.
- Walgreens app / Walgreens.com: The prescription transfer feature lets you search by drug and zip code. Walgreens specialty pharmacy locations tend to have better Annovera availability than standard retail locations.
- Walmart Pharmacy app: Walmart's pharmacy network is large and often underutilized. Use the app's refill and transfer tool, or call the pharmacy line directly — Walmart pharmacy staff can check their own warehouse availability and tell you if a store order can be fulfilled within 1–2 days.
- Costco and Sam's Club Pharmacy: If you have a membership (or know someone who does — Costco pharmacy is open to the public in most states), these pharmacies often carry Annovera at lower cash prices and with less wait time than retail chains.
Pro tip: When checking pharmacy apps, don't just check the pharmacy closest to you. Expand your radius to 15–20 miles. A pharmacy two towns over might have it ready today.
4. Call with the Generic Name
When you call a pharmacy directly, don't just ask for "Annovera." Pharmacy staff sometimes cross-reference inventory by generic name, and a newer technician may not immediately recognize the brand. Use this phone script:
"Hi, I'm looking for segesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol vaginal ring — it's also called Annovera. Do you currently have it in stock? If not, how quickly can you order it in?"
This phrasing accomplishes three things: it signals you know what you're looking for (pharmacies take informed patients more seriously), it gives the technician the generic name to search, and it immediately asks the follow-up question about ordering so you don't have to call back.
If they don't have it but can order it, ask: "Which wholesaler do you use, and what's the estimated arrival date?" Most retail pharmacies use McKesson, AmerisourceBergen, or Cardinal Health, all of which typically stock Annovera with 1–3 business day delivery windows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Annovera still in shortage?
As of this writing, Annovera does not appear on the FDA Drug Shortage Database or the ASHP Drug Shortage Database as an active or resolved shortage. However, "not on the shortage list" and "easy to find" are not the same thing. Annovera is a single-source branded product with thinner retail distribution than high-volume generics. Our platform's Pharmacy Call Index shows that approximately 62% of retail pharmacies do not carry Annovera as standard shelf inventory, meaning most patients will need to either request a special order (1–5 business days at most pharmacies) or locate a pharmacy that stocks it routinely. The situation is manageable — it's not a crisis shortage — but it does require more planning than most contraceptives. If your ring's year is approaching its end, start the refill process at least 2 weeks early.
How much does Annovera cost without insurance?
Without insurance, the estimated cash price for Annovera is approximately $1,800 to $2,100 per ring at retail pharmacies. With GoodRx or similar discount coupon platforms, prices may come down to approximately $1,600 to $1,900 depending on the pharmacy and your location. It's worth noting that this single ring provides a full year (13 cycles) of contraception — when amortized monthly, the cost is roughly $140–$175/month at cash prices, which is in the range of some premium monthly ring products. If cost is a barrier, prioritize these options: (1) Verify your insurance formulary — many ACA-compliant plans cover Annovera at $0 under the contraceptive mandate; (2) Ask your prescriber about the Mayne Pharma copay savings card; (3) Check eligibility for Title X clinic services, which may provide Annovera at reduced or no cost based on income.
Can I get Annovera through mail order?
Yes — mail-order pharmacy is a viable and often advantageous option for Annovera. Because you only need to fill the prescription once a year, the convenience of mail order is significant. Many insurance plans offer mail-order pharmacy benefits through partners like Express Scripts, OptumRx, CVS Caremark, or Walgreens Mail Service. For patients using telehealth prescribers (Nurx, Wisp, etc.), some services will ship Annovera directly to your door. If you're using mail order, plan ahead: allow 7–14 business days for the first fill, particularly if prior authorization is required by your insurance. Also confirm that the mail-order pharmacy stocks Annovera before assuming they do — call or check their website before transferring your prescription.
What's the difference between Annovera and NuvaRing?
Both Annovera and NuvaRing are vaginal rings that deliver a combination of progestin and estrogen to prevent pregnancy, but they differ in nearly every practical detail. Duration: Annovera lasts 1 full year (13 cycles) from a single ring; NuvaRing (and its generics) is a monthly ring — one ring per cycle, disposed of after 3 weeks. Hormones: Annovera uses segesterone acetate as its progestin; NuvaRing uses etonogestrel. The estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) is shared but delivered at different daily doses — approximately 13 mcg/day from Annovera vs. approximately 15 mcg/day from NuvaRing. Cost: NuvaRing generics are dramatically cheaper than Annovera — approximately $30–$90/month cash price vs. $1,800+/year for Annovera. Availability: Generic etonogestrel/EE rings carry a Findability Score of approximately 88–92 on our platform and are stocked at the vast majority of retail pharmacies. Best fit: Annovera is ideal for patients who want a full year of set-and-manage contraception with minimal refills; NuvaRing generics are better for patients whose insurance doesn't cover Annovera or who prefer a lower-cost option.
What if my pharmacy is out of Annovera?
If your pharmacy is out of Annovera, you have four practical options: (1) Ask them to order it — most retail pharmacies can order Annovera from their wholesale distributor within 1–5 business days. Get a specific estimated arrival date, not a vague "a few days." (2) Transfer your prescription — you're entitled to transfer your prescription to any in-network pharmacy. Ask your doctor's office to send it to a pharmacy that has confirmed stock, or use FindUrMeds to identify which nearby pharmacy has it. (3) Use FindUrMeds — our platform contacts 15,000+ pharmacies on your behalf and finds Annovera in stock, usually within 24–48 hours, so you don't have to make the calls yourself. (4) Ask your provider about a bridge — if you're between rings and in a bind, your provider may be able to prescribe a short course of a readily available oral contraceptive to maintain coverage while you wait for Annovera to be located. Don't go without contraceptive coverage if you can help it.
