While some women feel some vaginal or urethral irritation if the Nuva Ring presses against the front of the vagina, taking out the Nuva Ring would not be expected to cause painful urination.
Pregnancy is possible, but Nuva Ring is a highly effective method. Pregnancy is unlikely in the situation you describe.
If you used Nuva Ring correctly in the previous three weeks, there is no increased risk of pregnancy during the ring-free week.
When you take out Nuva Ring for the last time, you'll probably experience your usual withdrawal bleeding. After that, usually your next period is in 4-6 weeks. If you were irregular before using Nuva Ring, you will probably go back to that irregular habit after Nuva Ring.
It's an off-the-shelf prescription. It doesn't need to be compounded in a compounding pharmacy.
Dear Reader; Going on and off BC meds including the ring can cause a change in when periods come. Sinse I can't tell you which is the case for you I suggest a test or seeing your health care provider or both. Dwight
If you start mid-cycle, you should use a back up method of birth control, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, until you've had it in for seven days, at which time you'll get full protection. Effectiveness -- if 1,000 couples use Nuva Ring perfectly for a year, three will get pregnant. Since there are no perfect couples, pregnancy rates with typical use are higher than that, but there are no good data to date on typical failure rates with Nuva Ring. It's probably lower than typical failure rates with the pill, for which 8 pregnancies can occur among 100 couples using the pill for a year (higher for teens).
You can stop the Nuva Ring at any time in your cycle. If you stop before the three weeks are up, you may experience a bit more unscheduled bleeding or spotting than if you had kept it in for the whole three weeks. If you're not seeking pregnancy, be sure to find another method before having vaginal sex.
If you used Nuva Ring correctly during the previous three weeks, you have the same level of protection during the off week as you did in the previous three. It's not 100% effective, so pregnancy is possible, but it's not more likely during the off week.
If it fell into bed, and there isn't a lot of dog hair or cracker crumbs on your sheets, it shouldn't be a problem. But it would probably be kinder to your body to rinse it off first.
You will probably ovulate 3-5 weeks after removing the ring and get your next period 5-7 weeks later. You may have spotting during those first few weeks off the ring. You're still in the middle of this process.
His finger. Gollum bit it off to get the ring.
No, it's not normal. If your periods were irregular before using the Nuva Ring, it is to be expected that they will return to their irregular habit. Anyone who's been three months without a period and is not using hormonal birth control should see her health care provider for an exam.
