It works no matter where it is placed in the vagina. You can choose based on comfort and stability (how well it stays in place). For most women the most comfortable location is as far into the vagina as you can reach.
NO, it can only go as far as the end of your vagina.
you have to manually go and get it...Its not too fun but it must come outInsert a clean finger into your vagina and "hook" the ring with your finger. If you feel like you can't reach it, squat down to bring the end of the vagina closer to the entrance to hook the ring.
You should go no more than seven days without a ring.
NO. Your cervix is wayy to tiny for that large ring to go through. It is hardly an opening- just enough so that sperm can go through and that's microscopic.
It might have fallen out? Go to your Gyno. See what they can find/what they say
No. The important thing to remember with Nuva Ring is to continue to use it according to the schedule on the calendar, regardless of any bleeding. You may start bleeding before the three week ring interval is done, but you keep it in anyway. You may still be bleeding after the ring-free interval is done, but you put in a new ring anyway.
The same thing happened to me. You're supposed to leave the ring in place for the full three weeks to ensure protection. Supposedly you can spot any time that you're on the ring and be fine. If you phone the Nuvaring hotline, they'll tell you to go see your doctor if it keeps up/happens again next month.
It's uncommon for it to go on that long, but breakthrough bleeding is common in the first months of using Nuva Ring. In the first three months, you may have irregular spotting or bleeding. It's less common on Nuva Ring than on the pill, but it can occur. After the three month "breaking in" period, you should see more regular periods and lighter flow. Whatever bleeding you have, just keep using the ring on the schedule on your calendar, regardless of bleeding.
Like any hormonal birth control method, Nuva Ring is likely to cause lighter flow and shorter periods than you had before you started on it. Sometimes, on Nuva Ring, the flow gets so light that you don't notice anything at all. That is normal, and there's no need for concern if you used the ring correctly last month. You can take a pregnancy test if you're concerned, though. After the first withdrawal bleed following stopping Nuva Ring, the next period will probably come 4-6 weeks later if your periods were regular before you started Nuva Ring. If they were irregular before, they'll probably go back to their irregular pattern.
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.
Yes, if you start the birth control pill on the day you were to insert the next ring (or earlier), you don't need to use a backup method of birth control for the first seven days; you will have immediate protection.
Either is fine, but every three weeks is more expensive. Try every four weeks, and if you have breakthrough bleeding, go to every three weeks.
