Not a problem...just use a back up method of Birth Control for the first seven days of that cycle.
Yes, inserting the first NuvaRing will often shorten a woman's period.
If you inserted NuvaRing during your period, you're likely to bleed again in two to four weeks.
If you put the first one in and day one of your period, you get earlier protection.
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.
Breakthrough bleeding may last for days or weeks when you skip a period with hormonal birth control. Typically, it just lasts for a few 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.
Yes, there is a possibility that the NuvaRing can make your period come at an irregular time.
If she started the NuvaRing on the first day of her period, you've got nothing to worry about.
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.
If you are putting nuvaring in for the first time, you have to put it in between the 2nd and the 5th day of your period. Then you 'wear' it for 3 weeks exactly (as in same time in the day), take it out and let 7 days (again, on the hours exactly 7 days) pass before you put in a new one. When you use the first time, you are not protected for the first week the ring is in.
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.
You mean you can not keep your boyfriend erect, mine stays hard all the time... ...but when we first started dating, I was not on birth control, and condoms were uncomfortable for both of us. When I got on the NuvaRing, he started losing his erection. The problem was that he did not trust the NuvaRing until I got my period after the first month. Once I got it, then got off it (my period, not the NuvaRing), things were great. Maybe he's anxious about trying to impress you, or he's afraid of getting your pregnant.
