If you used NuvaRing correctly last cycle, you don't need to use a backup method when inserting the new NuvaRing. If it's been more than seven days since you used NuvaRing, you need to use a backup until you've used the ring correctly for seven days.
If you put the first one in and day one of your period, you get earlier protection.
If you inserted NuvaRing during your period, you're likely to bleed again in two to four weeks.
If you are putting nuvaring in for the first time, you have to put it in between the 2nd and the 5th day of your period. Then you 'wear' it for 3 weeks exactly (as in same time in the day), take it out and let 7 days (again, on the hours exactly 7 days) pass before you put in a new one. When you use the first time, you are not protected for the first week the ring is in.
It won't work as emergency contraception, but if you're putting it in no later than seven days after your last three-week-or-longer ring cycle, you're protected. If this is your first NuvaRing, get the morning after pill and start NuvaRing. Then use a back up method until you've used the ring correctly for seven days (14 if you used ullipristal for emergency contraception).
If she started the NuvaRing on the first day of her period, you've got nothing to worry about.
As described in the commercial, it is common for the first few months. However, if you are extremely concerned as it is large amounts of discharge, you may want to see your doctor.
Inserting NuvaRing during your period is likely to slow bleeding, but it may not stop altogether. Starting NuvaRing during the first five days of bleeding gives immediate pregnancy protection.
You have a higher chance of getting pregnant when you put a nuva ring in late. If you put the ring in late, you should not have sex (without a backup method of birth control) for at least 7 days with the ring in. If you did have sex in the first 7 days of putting in the ring, I would recommend a pregnancy test.
You mean you can not keep your boyfriend erect, mine stays hard all the time... ...but when we first started dating, I was not on birth control, and condoms were uncomfortable for both of us. When I got on the NuvaRing, he started losing his erection. The problem was that he did not trust the NuvaRing until I got my period after the first month. Once I got it, then got off it (my period, not the NuvaRing), things were great. Maybe he's anxious about trying to impress you, or he's afraid of getting your pregnant.
It is not necessary to use a backup method of birth control or extra protection after the first 7 days of using NuvaRing. However, always keep in mind that NuvaRing only protects against unwanted pregnancy and does not protect against STDs. Condoms are suggested for protection against STDs.
It is a highly effective method, and can be relied on after it's been in for seven days. You only have to wait a week when inserting the first ring the first time. Otherwise, as long as it hasn't been more than a week since you had a ring in, there's no need to abstain or use a back up method during the first week.
