Abby is 28 yo and is in your office for her well-woman exam. She has no issues to report. Her current contraceptive method is the ring, which she has used for the past two years. Previously she used oral contraceptive pills, which she used since she was 17 years old. Abby states the ring is great but admits she doesn’t use it consistently as she sometimes forgets to pick up her refill. She heard on the news that the ring gives you blood clots and was wondering if that was true. Abby also mentions doesn’t want to get pregnant and is currently studying her GRE’s to apply to grad school in a few months.
