    I have start T last week and I am on this birth control known as nuvaring. It is hormone based, and Im not sure if I should continue it. The only reason I use it is to stop periods. I am a transman (ignore the username). I am at 20mg a week by injection. I feel it might not be good for me to be on Birth control and T. Should I pull out the nuvaring? Advice?
    I am 116 and 5'4.
    Please help me with this.

    I believe it is what your doctor should help you with. I hope the T is prescribed by a trained medical professional, right?

    yes, it was. I need advice on stuff like this, or people which experience. I don't want this estrogen to block the T.

    Ask your doctor. I think if you are taking enough T, your cycles will stop. In any case, there wouldn't be any physical harm in stopping the ring.
