NuvaRing

If you are trying to get pregnant, you should leave the NuvaRing out. There is no sensible reason to use NuvaRing on any schedule when you're trying to get pregnant. Talk with your health care provider to clear up your confusion on this issue, and on how conception happens.

You can skip your period but the wisest thing to do will be keep it in for just another week longer. You can also take it out and then replace it with another one. But most women will have slight break-through bleeding.

The below answer is entirely untrue. If you are on birth control and are using it correctly, you are less than .001% likely to become pregnant, even if sperm is inside of you. A Nuvaring can be used for up to 2-3 months after being expired, but a backup method such as condoms or spermacide are recommended. Keep in mind that when first using the Nuvaring, you must wait 1-2 weeks after putting it in before having unprotected sex. One more thing wrong with the below answer, the last line "Otherwise if you had sex and they didnt [come] then you probably aren't" is also entirely untrue. Pre-ejaculation fluid, commonly called "pre-cum" can contain large amounts of live-sperm, which can lead to pregnancy just as often as regluar "cum". But then again, if you are on birth control, those risks are reduced by up to 99.99%. Answer No matter what if you have unprotected sex, and sperm went into you then you are most likely pregnant. Otherwise if you had sex and they didnt cun then you probably aren't

You may use Norforms whil using NuvaRing, but this is not a healthy practice. You would not find a female gynecologist who uses these type of products. They are more likely to cause odor or irritation than they are likely to prevent or cure odor.

Nuva Ring has a lower rate of breakthrough bleeding than the most commonly used birth control pills, but spotting in the first three months can occur. If it goes on longer than three months, if it's driving you crazy, or if you have other symptoms like pain or unusual discharge, contact your health care provider for advice and an exam.

A woman planning pregnancy may benefit from talking with her health care provider about health steps to take before conceiving, including starting a multivitamin with folic acid, considering whether any immunizations are recommended (such as rubella or varicella), and thinking about whether genetic counseling is a good idea. These recommendations are the same for women using birth control or those who are not.

For women who had regular 28-day cycles prior to using Nuva Ring, ovulation usually resumes 2-4 weeks after stopping Nuva Ring. You may have had some ovulation bleeding four weeks after stopping Nuva Ring, and now a period. If the irregular bleeding continues, or if you have other symptoms like unusual vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, or pain with sex or urination, contact your health care provider. It makes sense to call your provider now, anyway, to talk about preconception counseling and health measures. Best wishes to you and your family for a healthy pregnancy!

If you have irregular bleeding or spotting in the first three cycles of NuvaRing, it is likely to improve before the third cycle is done. Brown discharge during the ring free week is common (instead of red) and will stop before or just after the next ring is inserted.

you have to manually go and get it...Its not too fun but it must come out
Insert a clean finger into your vagina and "hook" the ring with your finger. If you feel like you can't reach it, squat down to bring the end of the vagina closer to the entrance to hook the ring.

You are not protected if you have not completed the 3 weeks, so yes, you could get pregnant.

If you leave the last NuvaRing in for four weeks, insert the new one immediately. If you did not insert it immediately, you must use a backup method until you've used the ring correctly for seven days.

It really depends on your health care provider, but current standards of practice in the US acknowledge that the IUD is a safe and effective method for women of all ages, regardless of whether they have delivered a child.

you know if it's placed correctly if you cannot feel it. if you feel it at all then you didn't push it up far enough. i used a tampon applicator to insert the nuva ring. so it goes up farther.

The NuvaRing is supposed to be used for three weeks, then taken out so that you WILL have a menstrual cycle. You do ovulate every month as long as you're taking the NuvaRing out for the one week, and place a new one in once that week is done. The NuvaRing, if you look at the package insert, is equipped with enough hormones to supply birth control for a full 30 days. If you choose to keep the ring in for four weeks, and put a brand new one in without taking a week-long break, you will not ovulate and will not have a menstrual cycle.

Having said that, it is OK to not have a menstrual cycle every single month. As long as you have 3-4 periods a year, your body will function normally and nothing bad should happen. As with many forms of birth control, there's always risk of "break-through" bleeding, which happens to many women and generally isn't reason for alarm as long as it isn't heavy and for more than a week.

No, you can't reuse NuvaRing. Dispose of it safely.

If you used Nuva Ring correctly during the previous three weeks, and are in your ring-free week, you have the same level of protection that you had in the prior three weeks.

If you accidentally had the ring out for three days in the middle of your three week "ring in" time, you should use a back up method for the next seven days, and consider using emergency contraception.

To fix the problem do all of the following:

- Don't drink any liquid for at least an hour before you go to bed..

- Go pee just before you go to bed

- Try to train yourself to get up at least once during the night to go toilet (pee).

Set your alarm for about 4 or 5 hours from when you go to bed, so that it will wake you and you can go toilet and straight back to bed. This will completely eliminate bed wetting. As after around 4 to 5 hours of sleeping you will most likely be ready for a pee.

- Try not to sleep on your stomach during this troubled time.. It causes pressure build up which will make you need to pee faster..

The best position to sleep while dealing with this issue is on your back.

Note: If the problem persists you may need to do pelvic exercises and or other such muscular training. So if problems persist consult a professional such as your local gp or at least look for further info online as it could be something more serious.

INTERESTING FACT: Men and boys get an erect penis while they sleep, for the sole purpose of highly improving the ability not to pee themselves while sleeping. It's a fact!

And for those of you who know exactly what I'm pointing out.. yes, that's exactly why males sleep and or wake with an erection. Fact!

Yes, NuvaRing will likely change the timing of your bleeding. You'll probably bleeding during the fourth week, when the ring is out. Bleeding may not start until late in that week. Be sure to reinsert the new ring on time regardless of bleeding.

The signs of pregnancy on NuvaRing are positive pregnancy test and missed periods. Take a pregnancy test if you think you might be pregnant.

Most do not, but there are a few exceptions, including some antifungals, TB drugs, HIV drugs. Check with your health care provider or pharmacist for advice specific to your situation.
No, it will not. Because the medication is not taken orally, most antibiotics have no effect on its efficacy.
Most antibiotics do not have any effect on hormonal birth control (the pill, Nuvaring, Depo) ask your doctor or pharmacist if the antibiotics you're taking have an effect on your birth control.

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.

If you start using NuvaRing on day one of your period, you will be instantly protected because you are not ovulating. If you wait until days 2 - 5, you could not be protected if you have already started to ovulate.

This is usual complain by the patients. Probably the same happens due to pelvic inflammatory disease, that fallows the tubectomy. I can not explain it to more precise degree.
