If you start using NuvaRing on day one of your period, you will be instantly protected because you are not ovulating. If you wait until days 2 - 5, you could not be protected if you have already started to ovulate.
You will get regular periods when using the NuvaRing. The process required when using NuvaRing is to insert on day one of your period to ensure instant protection against unwanted pregnancy. If you missed that time frame then you can wait until the following month to insert it.
The protection is linked to when you start using NuvaRing
You insert NuvaRing in the vagina.
If you insert NuvaRing a few days late, you may not be protected against pregnancy. Consider emergency contraception if you've had sex in the last five days. Use a backup method, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, until you've used the ring correctly for seven days.
No, you can't insert NuvaRing too far. The vagina ends in a "dead end" -- it's even called the "cul de sac." NuvaRing can't "get lost" in the vagina. NuvaRing will work no matter where it's place in the vagina, but most women find it more comfortable to insert it high into the vagina near the cervix.
No, you can't reuse NuvaRing. Dispose of it safely.
Yes, you should insert NuvaRing as soon as you remember. Use a backup method of birth control until you've used the ring correctly for seven days.
If you inserted your first NuvaRing within the first five days of your period, you have immediate protection even if you weren't still bleeding when you inserted it.
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.
No, you only need to insert NuvaRing on the same day of the week every time, not the same time of day.
Yes, you have it exactly right! You can insert NuvaRing early. That's your new insertion/removal day.
You will need to take a pregnancy test first or simply resort to condoms if you insert on day three emandlo.com/2009/10/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-nuva-ring/
If the Nuvaring has been out for more than 4 hours, insert one immediately and use another form of contraceptive until ring has been in continuously for 7 days.
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 ;-)
