When you first use the NuvaRing, it is typically inserted for three weeks, during which time it releases hormones to prevent pregnancy. After three weeks, you remove the ring for a one-week break, during which you may experience withdrawal bleeding similar to a menstrual period. Your cycle may vary depending on individual factors, but many users report a regular cycle after a few months of consistent use. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
If it's your first cycle, and if you started the ring on the very first day of menstrual bleeding, there's no increased risk. If it's you're first Nuva Ring and you started at some other time in your cycle, you should have used a back up method, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, for the first seven days of that first cycle. Consider using emergency contraception, and continue using the ring as scheduled. You can take a pregnancy test no sooner than 10 days after unprotected sex. If it's your second or later cycle, and you used Nuva Ring correctly in the prior month, there's no increased risk.
Yes. If it's your first cycle of Nuva Ring, be sure to use a backup birth control method, like condoms or abstincence from vaginal sex, for the first seven days. If you've been using it before, take a pregnancy test, and, if negative, insert the next ring.
There's no need to stop using hormonal contraception, including Nuva Ring, for as long as you don't want to get pregnant. Nuva Ring and other hormonal birth control methods have no effect on future fertility.
No, that 7 day wait time is only for the first cycle. If you're inserting it right on schedule, no wait is needed.
Use a back up method of birth control, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, for at least seven days after starting the first cycle.
When you stop using the Nuva Ring, the timing of your cycle may change. You may or may not keep getting your period at the same time of the month.

You can stop the Nuva Ring at any time in your cycle. If you stop before the three weeks are up, you may experience a bit more unscheduled bleeding or spotting than if you had kept it in for the whole three weeks. If you're not seeking pregnancy, be sure to find another method before having vaginal sex.
as long as you would any other time
It is not bad to take out the Nuva Ring mid cycle. The only real risk is a little more unscheduled bleeding during the following two weeks, and, of course, the risk of unintended pregnancy. If your periods are irregular (i.e. some more than two weeks late) six months after using Nuva Ring, it's too late to attribute the problem to the Nuva Ring. Please contact your health care provider to discuss the problem. Be sure to bring a good record of the timing of your periods in that time.
