My dr. told me that it is safe to use in the pool. I'm a competitive diver so I spend a lot of time in the water, and in hot tubs between my dives. I was concerned not only about the pool water, but also the 100+ degree water in the tubs (you are supposed to use cool to lukewarm water to rinse your ring) and he said that neither would cause a problem
It's inside your body. Your body is pretty good at regulating its own temperature because we're mammals not frogs, so it's not like it goes up or down that much if you're in a hot tub or cold pool.
no, the chlorine in the pool does not effect NuvaRing once you put it in yourself.

∙ 10y agoIf 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).

If you can feel your NuvaRing does this mean it is not effective?
If the Nuvaring is in your vagina it will work. However if you can feel it it may not be very comfortable and you should push it up a little further. http://www.nuvaring.com/Consumer/whatIsNuvaRing/isNuvaRingEasyToUse/index.asp
If Nuvaring makes you feel very sick can you remove it the next day if you have used the nuvaring during unprotected sex?
Answer 2:In order for the NuvaRing to be effective, you must use it the way it supposed to be used. You must NOT remove it the day after having unprotected sex. If it does not stay in for the entire three weeks after you put it in, it is NOT effective.Answer 1:Basically, yes. But you must visit a doctor to see why it makes you sick and what to use instead. Also, sex with Nuvaring is not unprotected sex. You protected, with Nuvaring :-).I would say it is pretty clear to anyone that the NUvaring should be used as described in the manual in order to be effective for future time. The question here, however, is if taking the Nuvaring out has consequences on being still protected from the effects of a previous sexual intercourse. The Nuvaring did its job during the intercourse, and is of course not protecting you any further if you take it out.
What if the NuvaRing isn't in very far?
NuvaRing will be effective no matter where it is in the vagina. You may be more confortable if it's at the top of the vagina than if it's lower. But if you're comfortable, and the ring is in the vagina, you are protected against pregnancy.
When can you breastfeed after removing NuvaRing?
You can breastfeed with or without NuvaRing in. If you are relying on NuvaRing for pregnancy prevention, taking it out to breastfeed is going to increase your risk for pregnancy. If you're breastfeeding while using NuvaRing, removing it for a few hours does nothing to improve your milk supply, but does make it less effective. Please contact your health care provider, pharmacist, or lactation consultant to discuss NuvaRing and breastfeeding, as it seems there has been some misunderstanding. NuvaRing may decrease milk volume, which could be important with a newborn. It does not affect the quality of the milk.
Where do you insert nuvaring?
You insert NuvaRing in the vagina.
Does urine affect NuvaRing?
Urine does not affect NuvaRing.
Can you get pregnant if you are using the NuvaRing and you think it's inside but it it fell out and he ejaculates in you?
yes. birth control is only 99% effective when used properly.
Does it take 7 days each time for NuvaRing to be effective after insertion?
No. If you are taking one ring out and putting another one in it you have immediate protection.
How does NuvaRing work?
NuvaRing remains effective for up to four weeks after inserting it. If you leave it in for the four weeks, though, be sure to insert the next ring at the end of the four weeks; don't take a ring-free week unless you had it in for just three weeks.
What hormones are in nuvaring?
NuvaRing contains etonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol.
Why are you spotting after taking out NuvaRing?
When NuvaRing is in, it is releasing hormones in your body. When you take out NuvaRing that hormone level goes down, and you have bleeding or spotting.
Is there a weight limit for using NuvaRing?
There is no weight limit for using NuvaRing.
