The hormones last only as long as the rings in your body. The ring is supposed to be taken out every three weeks and you can go get a new one.
After Nuva Ring is out for seven days, you no longer have protection against pregnancy. If you had a regular 28 day cycle prior to using Nuva Ring, you can expect to ovulate in 2-4 weeks, and for your first post-ring period to come in 4-6 weeks.
You keep it in for three weeks, and remove it for one week. Pregnancy protection stops after it's been out for 7 days. Ovulation starts 2-4 weeks after that, and the next period arrives 4-6 weeks after.
After taking out the last Nuva Ring, you'll get your usual withdrawal bleed. After that, you can expect your next period in four to six weeks, if your periods were regular 28 day cycles prior to using Nuva Ring. If they were not regular before, they are likely to resume their previous irregular habit.
Depends a lot on a persons individual body and how it takes to the active medication in the bc also depends on how long you were on the Birth Control. It should stay in your systematleast the 7 days you on your off week. But sometimes people will find when ttc that it can take months to get a bfp when others get a bfp within the next month.

The NuvaRing is only for one month, when it is used as is approved. The approved length of use by the FDA is up to three weeks, with a one week break following. During this one weak break, menstruation will occur, but no pregnancy can occur. So the total length of protection is one month.

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.

How long after re insererting the Nuva ring after your period will it be effective again?

It is effective immediately. The ring works just like the birth control pills. Except instead of taking non-active pills that week you take out the nuvaring for a week.


How long should you wait after removing the NuvaRing to try and get pregnant?

There is no need to wait to conceive after stopping NuvaRing. You can get pregnant as soon as you like.


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.


After putting the NuvaRing back in how long does it take for it to be effective?

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.


Where do you insert nuvaring?

You insert NuvaRing in the vagina.


What happens when you leave your NevaRing in too long?

I assume you mean NuvaRing. if you leave it in too long it stops being effective and you could get pregnant. Most birth control failure comes from improper use, so it's a good idea to follow instructions carefully.


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.
