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.
No. NuvaRing does not affect the accuracy of a pregnancy test. That is true whether or not the ring is in place. The pregnancy test looks for a hormone that is not found in NuvaRing.
Yes, you should remove or replace the NuvaRing on schedule regardless of any bleeding.
After 29 days wearing the Nuvaring, you remove it (for 7 days). Then you get your period and you use the softcups. You're period is already over, when you have to insert a new Nuvaring. So you''ll never have to wear both at the same time. a user of both ;-)
Yes, you can use yeast infection cream while using NuvaRing. There's no need to remove the ring for treatment.
If you leave out NuvaRing for a day, replace it with a new ring and use a back up method of birth control, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, for seven days. It is best not to remove NuvaRing until the ring-free week.
Yes, you can use the same NuvaRing after chlamydia treatment that you used before treatment. Similarly, if you have an IUD in place during chlamydia treatment, it does not need to be removed or switched out. The germ does not infect the device; it infects your tissues.
Remove the NuvaRing, replace it with a new one, get a pregnancy test if you've had intercourse during the previous four weeks, consider emergency contraception if you've had intercourse in the prior 72 hours, and consult your health care provider.
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.
Yes, stopping NuvaRing will normally cause bleeding. Just as you bleed when you remove NuvaRing after three weeks, you will have withdrawal bleeding after you stop NuvaRing permanently. Your regular menstrual pattern should restart within four to six weeks.
Yes. NuvaRing is removed one week per month. This is the week you have your period. You remove the last one, and later put in the new one, based on the schedule on the calendar. Sometimes this means you'll be inserting a new one while you're still bleeding.
It's not easy to misuse NuvaRing, but to err is human, and so mistakes happen:You can insert the new one lateYou can lose it from the vagina and not realize itYou can remove it for sex (bad idea) and forget to put it in, or have it out for too longYou can keep it in inhospitable temperatures
If you insert NuvaRing eight days late, you are at risk for pregnancy. Use a backup method for at least seven days. Timing of your next episode of withdrawal bleeding will be unpredictable. Take a pregnancy test if you had sex that wasn't protected due to the error in NuvaRing use. Consider changing to a method that doesn't require you to do something every month.
