It is supposedly effective if you insert it on the first day of your actual period. however, if you have spotting, you may not know exactly when that day is. If you insert it at any time other than the first day, there is a 7 day wait for it to take full effect, so I would just insert it whenever and then wait a week before having unprotected sex.
