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).
Yes, NuvaRing is a contraceptive meant to prevent pregnancy. It can also be used to decrease excessive bleeding or cramping with menstruation.
I suppose that "birth control" could also be called "temporary infertility," but that's not a common way of putting it. NuvaRing prevents pregnancy. When you stop, fertility returns.
Yes, but if you're doing so just to prove you're not pregnant, reconsider. Just take a pregnancy test instead, and continue using the NuvaRing on schedule. If you're trying to change the date of your period, just use the NuvaRing without taking the week-long break, rather than stopping the NuvaRing early and putting yourself at risk of pregnancy. Contact your health care provider for advice specific to your situation. If you want to stop NuvaRing, it's fine to remove it early. There's no other reason that I can think of in which removing NuvaRing early makes sense.
According to the Nuvaring website, the levels of protection from pregnancy do not drop if the ring is outside your vagina for less than three hours. If you remove the ring for more than three hours, you may become pregnant.
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're a day late inserting nuvaring, you may have a different timing of your period. Putting it in a day late also increases your risk of pregnancy, so tkae a pregnacy test if your period is late.
If NuvaRing® has been left in your vagina for up to one extra week (four weeks in total or less), remove it and insert a new contraceptive ring after a one-week ring-free break. If NuvaRing® has been left in place for more than four weeks, you may not be adequately protected against pregnancy and you must check to be sure you are not pregnant. If you know or suspect that you're pregnant, do not use NuvaRing®. If you are not pregnant, insert a new contraceptive ring. You must use an extra method of birth control, such as male condoms or spermicide, until the new NuvaRing® has been in place for seven days in a row.This is from the Nuva Ring's website.
No. If you are taking one ring out and putting another one in it you have immediate protection.
After your first cycle, during which you need to use a back up method of birth control for the first seven days, Nuva Ring is equally effective at all times of the month as long as you use it as directed.
Probably not. I would just skip the ring free week and put another ring in the same day you take it out, in order to remain on schedule. or call the nuvaring company or your doctor to see what they say. The ring is effective for 4 weeks if you wear it for 3, so if you wear it for 4 I doubt it makes a difference.
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.
