Is it ok to skip the last 4 sugar pills and start the NuvaRing?
When changing from birth control pills to Nuva Ring, you can safely start at any time in the pill cycle and expect immediate protection, as long as you didn't miss pills in the previous cycle. There is no need to wait until bleeding starts or stops.
Your doctor should of gone over this. Also you might want to read the section in the instructions that says "when to start". If your on the sugar pills that should mean your on your period and if I remember correctly you should start the ring on the Sunday after your period starts (even if your still bleeding). I don't think it would hurt if you skipped the sugar pills. They don't do anything. I will also say that when I was on the NuvaRing my periods never came until I removed the ring. No matter how long I left it in. So pay attention to when you SHOULD be starting your period and if it doesn't come remember this before you rush to the store for a pregnancy test. Don't keep the ring in longer than 4 weeks per instructions!
Are you sopose to be spotting while on the nuva ring birth control?
Spotting is a common side effect in the first three months of NuvaRing. It improves quickly.
Does it affect your cyle if your 1 day late puttin the nuva ring in?
If you're a day late inserting nuvaring, you may have a different timing of your period. Putting it in a day late also increases your risk of pregnancy, so tkae a pregnacy test if your period is late.
When do you get your period when you're on NuvaRing?
Many women using Nuva Ring have noticed that their withdrawal bleeding starts later in the week than it did when they were using the birth control pill. If you take out the ring on Sunday, you might not spot or bleed until Thursday or Friday. That's fine; just put in the new ring on Sunday (in this example) as scheduled.
Whatever bleeding you have, just keep using the ring on the schedule on your calendar, regardless of bleeding.
Like any hormonal birth control method, Nuva Ring is likely to cause lighter flow and shorter periods than you had before you started on it.
Sometimes, on Nuva Ring, the flow gets so light that you don't notice anything at all. That is normal, and there's no need for concern if you used the ring correctly last month. You can take a pregnancy test if you're concerned, though.
2~3 days sometimes 4
There is no set time for conceiving after stopping contraception. You may become pregnant right away or it may take up to a year. Good look trying to conceive. You should get your period within 3 or 4 days of taking out the ring
I got my period three days after taking it out, but it varies with different people.
Well I've only had it in for one cycle and it took 4 days for my period to come after I took it out. I'm curious to know if this will change next month.
You'll usually experience a withdrawal bleed within 14-22 days after removing the NUVA Ring. After this period of time, you will begin ovulating and your "real" period will usually occur 1-3 months after the removal of the ring.
Mine has taken from 2 days to like 5 days.
