If you get your period while NuvaRing is in, continue using the ring as scheduled. You can use tampons or pads for bleeding according to your preference. This unscheduled bleeding is common during the first three months of using the ring. If it lasts longer or has other symptoms, or if it just bother you, talk to your heatlh care provider about other birth control options.
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 are in the shower and have a nuvaring in, if you check your nuvaring to make sure its still in, does that make it ineffective because you're taking a hot shower?
No. Have all the fun you want ;]
If you have not had sex you know you are not pregnant, it is possible the hormones in NuvaRing are enough to prevent the withdrawal bleeding you had while on BCP. One possible side effect of the NuvaRing is for bleeding to stop completely. You should replace the device on the day it is due, if you have withdrawal bleeding or not. (more information at link)
it sometimes still hurts your feelings and it affects your heart
No, you can't reuse NuvaRing. Dispose of it safely.
You will not get PMS symptoms if you skip your withdrawal bleeding with birth control, as your hormonal levels are not changing.
My bf cannot (and he is large) and the nuvaring website said 90% cannot too. I still don't understand how he can't feel it, but he cant.
You should use the ring on schedule regardless of bleeding. If your period starts while it's in, leave it in until you're scheduled to remove it. You can still use pads or tampons for bleeding as usual.
Yes, NuvaRing will likely change the timing of your bleeding. You'll probably bleeding during the fourth week, when the ring is out. Bleeding may not start until late in that week. Be sure to reinsert the new ring on time regardless of bleeding.
Not a physician here, just a Nuvaring user for 3+ years. I would say yes, put it in the week After you SHOULD have gotten your period, just to keep your body on the same schedule. I once skipped a month of having the Nuvaring in, thinking I' could start again once I got my period, but I ended waiting two months for my next period and by then my body was all out of whack because the hormone cycle was broken. If you put the ring in when you normally would, after the week you should have gotten your period, you'll just skip your period that month, maybe with some spotting, but your body will still be on the same cycle.
