What if you insert NuvaRing two weeks late?

Answer 1

When women use hormonal contraception like the regular Birth Control pill, the patch, or the ring, some will already have started ripening an egg for next months ovulation after seven days without hormones (i.e. during the pill-/ring-/patch-free week). For that reason, missing pills (or being late with your ring) early in the cycle is the riskiest for accidental pregnancy. If you're late inserting your ring:

• Use a back up method, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, for the next seven days;
• Consider using emergency contraception (e.g. the morning after pill) if you've had sex during the days you were supposed to have a ring in;
• Write down that your new ring change day will be the same day of the week that you inserted this one.

Answer 2

If you insert NuvaRing one week late, you may be at risk for pregnancy. If you had sex in the last five days, consider taking the morning after pill. Use a backup method until you've used the ring correctly for seven days (or 14 days if you used ulliprostal for emergency contraception). Consider looking into another method that's easier to manage, such as the contraceptive implant or IUD. These do not require you to do something every month.

Answer 3

If you insert NuvaRing early it may shorten your period. It will not increase your risk of pregnancy. The new insertion day is now the day of the week you'll remove it (in three weeks) and the weekday that you'll insert the new one (one week after removing this one).

Answer 4

If you insert NuvaRing two weeks late you may be at risk of pregnancy. Consider using the morning after pill if you've had sex in the last five days. Use a backup method of birth control until you've used the ring correctly for seven days (or 14 if you used ullipristal for emergency contraception). Consider using a different method, like one that doesn't require you to do something every month. The contraceptive implant and IUD are highly reliable and aren't something you can "goof up." When you stop them, you have immediate return of fertility.

Answer 5

If you insert NuvaRing late, use a backup method until it's been in for seven days. If you've had sex in the last day, consider using emergency contraception to lower the risk of pregnancy.

Answer 6

If you insert NuvaRing a week late, you may be at risk for pregnancy. Take a morning after pill if you've had sex in the last five days. Use a backup method of birth control for the first seven days on the new ring.

Answer 7

Like the commercial says; "it may attach to or go through your uterine wall". Any other warnings will be on the package.

Answer 8

NuvaRing must be inserted on the same day of the week you took it out. It does not need to be inserted at the exact time.
