You can stop NuvaRing at any time, including mid-cycle. You may have a little less irregular bleeding after stopping it if you stop at the end of the three-week cycle.
NuvaRing prevents pregnancy. When you stop using it, you may get pregnant, but there's no special "ferility boost" when you stop.
Yes, inserting the first NuvaRing will often shorten a woman's period.
I suppose that "birth control" could also be called "temporary infertility," but that's not a common way of putting it. NuvaRing prevents pregnancy. When you stop, fertility returns.
Inserting NuvaRing during your period is likely to slow bleeding, but it may not stop altogether. Starting NuvaRing during the first five days of bleeding gives immediate pregnancy protection.
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.
You insert NuvaRing in the vagina.
Urine does not affect NuvaRing.
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.
NuvaRing contains etonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol.
When NuvaRing is in, it is releasing hormones in your body. When you take out NuvaRing that hormone level goes down, and you have bleeding or spotting.
There is no weight limit for using NuvaRing.
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)
