Not unless you want to get pregnant! It must be inside and releasing hormones or you are not protected against pregnancy.
No, it just needs to be inserted on the same day of the week that you took out the last one, no more than 7 days later.
yes it will.
In that case, you put in the new one on Sunday, as scheduled.
Yes, you can put it back in if you use a backup method of birth control during the first seven days. Soreness is not a normal side effect of Nuva Ring. If you're finding it uncomfortable, try inserting it higher in the vagina. If the symptoms recur, talk to your health care provider about other options for preventing pregnancy.
You should go no more than seven days without a ring.
No. That will put you at risk for pregnancy during the seven days, because the ring was in too long. Instead, use as directed: Nuva Ring for three weeks and hormone free for seven days.
If you used Nuva Ring correctly during the previous three weeks, and are in your ring-free week, you have the same level of protection that you had in the prior three weeks. If you accidentally had the ring out for three days in the middle of your three week "ring in" time, you should use a back up method for the next seven days, and consider using emergency contraception.
Coming from a person who uses the Nuva Ring, I can say from experience that this is normal. The Nuva Ring is specifically designed deliver a low dose of hormones all the time. When you take out the Ring, your body recognizes that is it not receiving those hormones and it has it's period. When you don't give your body the hormones, it has it's period.
As long as you put the ring in at the same time 7 days after you took it out you do not need any additional protection.
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).
Check this associated website, or just Google NuvaRing I just started the Nuva ring and leave it in for 4 weeks and then insert a new one. After talking to my doctor, she told me that the Nuva ring was approved by the FDA to be used continiously. The Nuva Ring is good for 34 days, if I remember correctly. So I have not had a period for the last 2 months. It has been great!
Answer Why not consult with a pharmacy, they'd be better equipped to answer your question. There must be pharmacy phone numbers in the phone book where you live, give it a try.
I suppose you could, but it seems a little tasteless to take something out of your vagina and put it on your wrist.
