Don't worry about the ring!

The ring is already ultra-low-dose: it has only about a third of the dosage of common pills like Yasmin. There was a concern about the patch since it had a dosage similar to the pill and the absorption was higher. But I believe that the improved absorption was something like 50%, so with the ring you're still lower than the pill.

From what I've read, the estrogen levels in your blood have been measured to be lower on the ring than on the pill.
