NuvaRing

A NuvaRing needs to be refrigerated if it won't be used within four months. If you're talking about a ring that you'll be using later that night, it doesn't need to go in the refrigerator. If you're taking it out to have sex, please reconsider; it's so easy to forget to reinsert it an put yourself at risk of pregnancy.

It can never hurt to be safe. If you have access to the plan B and cannot get in touch with your doctor, then take it to be safe. Having unprotected sex is not advised, even when you are using the NuvaRing, as it does not protect against STDs.

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.

NuvaRing remains effective for up to four weeks after inserting it. If you leave it in for the four weeks, though, be sure to insert the next ring at the end of the four weeks; don't take a ring-free week unless you had it in for just three weeks.

NO! Well, you can, but it will not be effective for the first seven days or so. Read the ENTIRE packaged instruction pamphlet. This is your life in your hands....READ IT AND TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR!

There is no special meaning to a 40 day cycle. Talk with your health care provider if you are trying to get pregnant. Otherwise, just continue noting the timing of your periods.

Yes, that is common, especially in the first months of use. Just keep using the Nuva Ring, leaving it in or taking it out according to the schedule on your calendar, regardless of any bleeding. You can use tampons or pads even with the Nuva Ring in place.

If 1,000 couples use Nuva Ring perfectly for a year, three will get pregnant. Since there are no perfect couples, pregnancy rates with typical use are higher than that, but there are no good data to date on typical failure rates with Nuva Ring. It's probably lower than typical failure rates with the pill, for which 8 pregnancies can occur among 100 couples using the pill for a year (higher for teens).

After stopping Nuva Ring, women get pregnant at the same rate as women who never used Nuva Ring. It does not impact future fertility.

When women use hormonal birth control, the period gets lighter. It can get so light that there is no visible bleeding at all. This situation is safe; if you were not bleeding and weren't on birth control, there might be risk. But, even though it's safe, some women don't like it. If you are one who prefers a more regular withdrawal bleed, talk to your health care provider about options.

It's never easy to get pregnant using effective birth control.

It's not possible to determine an answer without asking more questions and examining you. Please talk with your health care provder about this question.

If they are the same weight and size, It generally doesn't matter (In an oven). Possibly 5 extra min, glad to help!

In the first three months, you may have irregular spotting or bleeding. It's less common on Nuva Ring than on the pill, but it can occur. After the three month "breaking in" period, you should see more regular periods and lighter flow.

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.

Whatever bleeding you have, just keep using the ring on the schedule on your calendar, regardless of bleeding.

If you had sex during that week and a half delay without using a condom, you could be pregnant. Take a pregnancy test to check.

During the "ring out" week, your period may not come until five or six days after you take the ring out. Continue to use it according to the schedule on the calendar, regardless of any bleeding.

No, Nuva Ring doesn't lead to bacterial vaginosis, and it should not be removed and washed daily.

People think it is Susie Mulhern is. Search her in Google Images if you don't believe me :)

Yes, a man having intercourse with a woman using the nuva ring can "come". Although sometimes the man can also feel the ring, and it sometimes causes discomfort for him, or even sometimes a slight desensitization of his penis. If your partner feels discomfort, or is unable to "come", you can remove the nuva ring while you have sex. Just be sure to remember to put it back in within 3 hours of taking it out to maintain the effectiveness of the birth control.

Are you sure it isn't in far enough already? According to the manufacturer it's still effective as long as it is in your birth canal, i.e. as long as it sits in your vagina you're fine. It's only a problem if it falls out.

If you remove NuvaRing for three days and it's not scheduled to be the ring-free week should use a backup method of birth control until you've used the ring correctly for seven days in a row.

Hi, No you can't double up now as its too late. Your BC pills will not of been working effectively when you missed a pill and if you had unprotected sex during this time there is a 2% chance of conception occurring.

Yes, if you are keeping it for over four months it def needs to stay in the fridge. It can also be kept at room temperature (77 degrees). I have been on the nuva ring for about a year now and i always keep them in the fridge until the day i insert it, and i havent had any problems yet.

If you used it last month for three weeks, had the ring-free week, and now are inserting the second ring, it starts working immediately.

usually a cycle but can be 4 months

the same thing just happened to me, and I was really upset but I called organon, they said its perfectly normal, especially if i started using nuvaring recently.
