455 Questions
Can you stop NuvaRing anytime you want?
Absolutely. You may have slightly more vaginal spotting if you stop in the middle of the three weeks of wearing the ring than if you waited out the three weeks, but there's no medical reason that you can't stop at any time.
Can NuvaRing cause weight gain?
I just started the Nuva ring and I was suspicious of weight gain myself. My Dr. told me that you will not gain weight from being on it or on any other birth control pills for that matter. She said that people think that because they usually start birth control at an age when your body changes and you gain a little weight anyway. I haven't been on it that long to tell anyway, but if I do gain weight I will be off of it. Hope that helps :)
I didn't want to erase the answer above but the doctor is right you won't gain weight from it or any birth control PILLS, however, you can and most likely will gain weight if you're taking a shot, such as Depot Medroxyprogesteron Acetate.
Answerthe answers above are correct. I've been on the ring for a year now and i havent gained one pound because of it. ofcourse it could be i have gained weight because of poor eating habits and exercise but that's all normal. I recommend nuva ring, it's so efficient. AnswerGenerally what I find when it comes to birth controls is that bloating is pretty much what makes women feel 'fatty' when on hormone therapies in general. Now... the Depo shot certainly makes this 'fatty' feeling worse and it can also effect your habits. It is not a cyclic birth control method like estrogen based birth controls, and so more often than not... even though you don't get mood swings as badly, you do have hormonal changes in behavior that are ongoing and consistent. Increased appetite or craving sugars can be one, increased fatigue can be another. When you combine things like that... and a general apathy towards your eating habits or exercise habits then you can very likely gain weight. Be fair though, it is not entirely the birth control... it would not be like it is making your body store fat like some fatty machine.... its simply that your cravings and habits may change and you are not being mindful of it. If you are mindful of what you eat and how you exercise then it should not effect much at all when it comes to actually getting fatter and gaining solid weight.
Cyclic birth controls that contain both Estrogen and Progesterone cause fatigue, cravings, and changes in behaviors as well, but it is usually not consistant as with the Depot shot. Generally you will have a week where you want to eat all the delicious fatty foods in the world, or you will have a week where you don't want to eat at all aside from simply keeping hunger away. When it comes to energy, you may have a week where you feel like you are full of zest and where you are as peppy as a cheerleader, and another week where you just want to stay in bed all the time and wallow. It would be different for each woman, but generally it all balances out and with the changes in mood and behavior... women tend to be more mindful of it and actually think to themselves 'Hmmm... wow... I am really craving sweets these past few days'. So gaining fatty weight off while on them is far less likely. Now... since it is cyclic and you are supposed to have a period week and such, a gal CAN be victim to some major bloating... sometimes more bloating than you had before you were on birth control. Constipation can also be a side effect of hormones and common sense should spell out to you that if you are not getting rid of waste... then guess where it is. If you become bloated and constipated then the scale will definitely say that you are a few pounds heavier.... but its not that you are getting fat... its mostly water.
One of my frequent issues with birth control is that after I am on it for several months, my body just decides that it doesn't want to have periods anymore... its after that point that I start bloating and gaining weight. This has happened to me several times with different birth controls. For me its like I have PMS and get headache and bloat, and then the next week the PMS goes away but the bloat stays lol.
In all instances though... after I stop the birth control I completely de-bloat. I go through a phase where I have to use the restroom constantly (loosing a lot of the water weight), and I also end up having to go number 2 more times than what makes sense in my mind (i.e. ' I only ate a bowl of cerial this morning, why am I having to go three times tonight ?). My waste line generally starts to look tighter and the puffy spots under my eyes and along my jawline all un-puff. So... all in all, I usually end up having any pounds that I gained while being on birth control all shed off in two weeks and I am back to my normal weight again... and in the case with Nuva Ring... even a bit lighter.
DONT discontinue birth control after several months just to de-bloat though... most women don't even bloat all that much... its too silly and superficial and if you are having unprotected sex regularly then you have to bear in mind... if bloating made you look a little bit plumper... imagine what pregnancy will do. Most people don't carry enough water in their bodies anyways, so sometimes the bloating is beneficial rather than a downer.
Is it okay to start birth control for first time second day of period?
As long as you have had a negative pregnancy test or there is NO CHANCe of being pregnant (such as no sex) then it doesnt matter when you start. It may just throw off your pill pack and you may have a more irregular cycle to start off with.
How long can stress delay a period?
I have heard of women who skip an entire month because of stress. It is not the period that is delayed so much as ovulation. You are stressed so you don't ovulate. Becasue you don't ovulate there is no rise in the hormones therefore there is no fall so a period is not triggered. The delay can last as long as the stress lasts.
Do you insert NuvaRing the same day of every month?
You just need to insert and remove it on the same day of the week. The time of day is not important.
Being an hour late once a year won't reduce the efficacy. You just need to insert and remove it on the same day of the week.
Does phentermine affect NuvaRing?
There are no known drug interactions between NuvaRing and phentermine, so there is no reason to expect different side effects.
Can you insert NuvaRing during your period?
Yes it is, and not only it is possible but you should insert a new nuvaring exactly 7 days from when you took it out, period or not. You should keep the ring in and take the ring out according to the schedule on the calendar, regardless of any bleeding you have.
Yes you can. I have been on nuvaring for 3months and yes you can put it in while you have your period. it will not stop your period from leaving your body. you can also use tampons while having it in but just make sure you do not pull the nuvaring out while you pull out the tampon.
Yes, that's a normal thing to do. You should put it in according to the schedule, regardless of any bleeding.
Does Metronidazole gel affect NuvaRing?
There are no known drug interactions between Nuva Ring and metronidazole vaginal gel.
What if you insert NuvaRing two weeks late?
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.
Does NuvaRing affect the accuracy of a pregnancy test?
Hormonal birth control (such as the pill) does not affect the accuracy of blood or urine pregnancy tests. Pregnancy tests measure a hormone (hCG) only present in pregnancy.
To ensure the best results: * Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest * Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results * Take the test no more than 1 day before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period, the percentage of accuracy is very low. * urinate for as long as possible on the foam-like strip * Check the results in the window frame of time suggested by the instructions of the pregnancy test
While it depends upon the sensitivity of the specific test, most home urine pregnancy tests (sensitive to 25 mIU) will turn positive about 13-16 days after conception. If you were not on oral contraceptives, this would mean about the time of the first missed menses. When you are on oral contraceptives, ovulation could have occurred at more irregular times so that all you can say is if the pregnancy test is negative, you are either not pregnant or are less than about 14 days pregnant from ovulation.
You don't leave it in four weeks. If you did, there wouldn't be a week without it. You would go from the fourth week right into the next ring. If you don't leave them in long enough, there is a chance of getting pregnant. << doesn't know what they are talking about really... ok so actual answer: nuva ring has an extra week safety net if you forget to take it out at the end of the 3rd week you have an extra week... just take it out at the end of that 4th week leave it out for a week and resume use take it out after three weeks :)
What does it mean if your period is a week late and you're having a brown discharge?
This is old blood and most likely is caused by left over blood from your period which has been released. Or it can be caused by infection. Pregnancy has been ruled out because you got a normal period.
What happens if you take the nuva ring out 2 or 3 weeks after its suppose to come out?
You just need to remember to put the new one back in one week later on the same that you took it out.
What if you left NuvaRing in for five weeks?
If you leave NuvaRing in for six weeks without changing it, you could get pregnant. Insert the new one now. If you had sex in the last five days, consider using the morning after pill or getting a copper IUD inserted (the latter reduces the risk of pregnancy up to five days after sex, and provides ongoing birth control that's highly reliable and reversible). Use a backup method of birth control until you've used the ring correctly for seven days. Take a pregnancy test if you don't have bleeding when you next take your ring-free week break.
Does NuvaRing make you fertile?
Nuva Ring reduces the risk of pregnancy while you use it. After stopping Nuva Ring, women do not have a decrease in fertility. 85% of couples using no pregnancy prevention will get pregnant within a year. This number is the same for couples who have used Nuva Ring, and for couples who never used hormonal birth control.
Is ok to keep the NuvaRing in the freezer?
Yes, it is recommended that you keep Nuva Ring in the refrigerator if you won't use it within four months. You can keep it in the refrigerator, if you prefer, even if you're going to use it before that time.

Can stress make your period lighter?
Hi Um.. Stress can indeed make you period lighter. I expericenced the same , I thought i was pregnant( which I wouldn't want) But yet I got this bleeding which was light but yet still heavier than spotting! I hope I am not pregnant because I am diffinately not prepared.I have been stressed out over the pass 2 weeks about pregnancy and stuff, So stress can triger a ligh period :P
What if you take birth control while you're pregnant?
I got the depo shot 1 week after unprotected sex then found out I was pregnant. I lost the baby because of an ectopic pregnancy. There is no proof but I think depo had something to do with it.
When should you insert nuvaring?
Health care providers used to recommend the first Sunday after your period, but no longer do. It makes sense to start the first Nuva Ring when you get it, and then use a back up method of birth control, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, for the first seven days of that first cycle.
Starting it in this manner reduces the risk of unintended pregnancy while waiting for your period, since you'll get protection sooner. In addition, starting on some other day of the week, not the one where almost all health care practices and many pharmacies are closed, helps reduce your risk of accidentally getting caught without a ring on your ring change day.
Yes, but you need to use a backup birth control method for the first seven days of your cycle.
You can start the Nuva Ring anytime during your cycle. Use a back up method of birth control, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, until you've used it correctly for seven days. You won't need backup when starting your second month of Nuva Ring, and for that start, you'll just put it in according to the schedule on the calendar, regardless of bleeding.
Some women put it in the first day of their menstrual cycle - others prefer to wait until their period is over, anytime from day one to day 5 is fine. According to the NuvaRing web site if you put it in on the first day of your menstrual cycle you will not need to use backup. If you wait until day two - thru day five you will need back up birth control for 7 days. This is usually the deciding factor.
You can insert the NuvaRing at any time during your cycle using the Quick Start method. Whever you choose to start, use a back up method of birth control, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, for the first seven days of the first cycle.
In the first cycle of Nuva Ring, you can put the ring on the first day of your period for immediate protection from pregnancy. You can put it in any other day of your cycle as well, but then need to use a back up method (like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex) for seven days.
In later cycles using Nuva Ring, you put it in on schedule, a week after you took out the last one, on the same day of the week that you took the last one out. No backup method is needed in these subsequent cycles.
Can you remove the nuva ring during intercourse?
According to the Nuvaring website, the levels of protection from pregnancy do not drop if the ring is outside your vagina for less than three hours. If you remove the ring for more than three hours, you may become pregnant.
If you're having breakthrough bleeding during the first three months of using NuvaRing, you're likely to have less bleeding overall if you keep it in as scheduled. If you'd like to remove it, there's no harm in doing so other than pregnancy risk. You may bleed or spot for a week or so after removing it.
If NuvaRing is left in 7 days to long will your period be late?
If you insert NuvaRing eight days late, you are at risk for pregnancy. Use a backup method for at least seven days. Timing of your next episode of withdrawal bleeding will be unpredictable. Take a pregnancy test if you had sex that wasn't protected due to the error in NuvaRing use. Consider changing to a method that doesn't require you to do something every month.
Why does NuvaRing keep slipping down?
NuvaRing does not come out often, except for women with chronic constipation. If you're having trouble keeping in the ring, it makes sense to look for a different method of birth control.
