Seven days is normal. Five will work, particularly if you want to change your ring change day to two days earlier in the week.
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 miss the first three days of your NuvaRing cycle, you should use a backup method until you've worn the ring for seven days. If you had sex during that time, consider using emergency contraception.
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.
If you leave the last NuvaRing in for four weeks, insert the new one immediately. If you did not insert it immediately, you must use a backup method until you've used the ring correctly for seven days.
You should start using your ring for the first time after your period has stopped. Then begin using your timer to remove on the correct day and replace 7 days later. If used properly you should never have any problems. I was on the ring for 6 + years and had sex as soon as the same day I put it in and never had a question about pregnancy. I fully trust the ring as my method of BC.
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 ;-)
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.
You should insert the next NuvaRing on schedule, regardless of bleeding. You don't decide when to put in the next one based on how many days or how heavily you're bleeding, you just use the calendar.
If you used NuvaRing correctly last cycle, you don't need to use a backup method when inserting the new NuvaRing. If it's been more than seven days since you used NuvaRing, you need to use a backup until you've used the ring correctly for seven days.
Yes, you have it exactly right! You can insert NuvaRing early. That's your new insertion/removal day.
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.
Yes
