Yes, griseofulvin can affect NuvaRing. It's one of the few antibiotics that can. Be sure to use a backup method like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex.

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.
You have been using the NuvaRing regularly for 4 months is there any need for back up contraceptive at any time during your cycle?
That's up to you. There's no particular time on NuvaRing when you're more likely to get pregnant. Of 1000 couples using NuvaRing perfectly for a year, three will have a pregnancy. It's no 100% effective. If you're OK with that risk, then you can stop using backup contraceptive. If that's not an acceptable level of risk for you, then continue using condoms.

Condoms
NuvaRing I know you're supposed to use protection the first week of NuvaRing but I was wondering if this is still necessary after the first month?
It is not necessary to use a backup method of birth control or extra protection after the first 7 days of using NuvaRing. However, always keep in mind that NuvaRing only protects against unwanted pregnancy and does not protect against STDs. Condoms are suggested for protection against STDs.

No, condoms are not effective if they go through the laundry. The heat from the washer and dryer will weaken the rubber of the condom. Even non-latex condoms cannot withstand washing.

If you can feel your NuvaRing does this mean it is not effective?
If the Nuvaring is in your vagina it will work. However if you can feel it it may not be very comfortable and you should push it up a little further. http://www.nuvaring.com/Consumer/whatIsNuvaRing/isNuvaRingEasyToUse/index.asp
If Nuvaring makes you feel very sick can you remove it the next day if you have used the nuvaring during unprotected sex?
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.
When can you breastfeed after removing NuvaRing?
You can breastfeed with or without NuvaRing in. If you are relying on NuvaRing for pregnancy prevention, taking it out to breastfeed is going to increase your risk for pregnancy. If you're breastfeeding while using NuvaRing, removing it for a few hours does nothing to improve your milk supply, but does make it less effective. Please contact your health care provider, pharmacist, or lactation consultant to discuss NuvaRing and breastfeeding, as it seems there has been some misunderstanding. NuvaRing may decrease milk volume, which could be important with a newborn. It does not affect the quality of the milk.
What if the NuvaRing isn't in very far?
NuvaRing will be effective no matter where it is in the vagina. You may be more confortable if it's at the top of the vagina than if it's lower. But if you're comfortable, and the ring is in the vagina, you are protected against pregnancy.
After putting the NuvaRing back in how long does it take for it to be effective?
After your first cycle, during which you need to use a back up method of birth control for the first seven days, Nuva Ring is equally effective at all times of the month as long as you use it as directed.
