NuvaRing

i still havent got a straight answer from anyone so i'm just take extra protection but i have gotten really bad stomach cramps.

Probably not. I would just skip the ring free week and put another ring in the same day you take it out, in order to remain on schedule. or call the nuvaring company or your doctor to see what they say.

The ring is effective for 4 weeks if you wear it for 3, so if you wear it for 4 I doubt it makes a difference.

You should be fine, sometimes if you take it out a little later in the day then usual it takes longer for it start. If it has been more the 4 or 5 days I would start to get worried.

is it possible to get pregnant if while having unprotected sex and not taking the birthcontrol properly?

I personally had some problems myself removing it, so the first time, my doctor removed it. But I think you should be able to manage if you just are patient and calm. It is in there, so you should be able to find it with your finger and pull it out. once you actually find it, the pulling is no problem.

One trick to help: squat down and "bear down" to change the placement of your cervix. While squatting, reach up with a finger to hook the ring.

It's fine to start the next ring early, and fine to leave the old ring in for 24 days. Doing so does not increase the risk of pregnancy. You may have unpredictable bleeding when trying to skip your period by skipping the ring-free interval.

If you take it out a day late, you have no decrease in effectiveness. Insert your next ring on your normal schedule.

No, you can't insert NuvaRing too far. The vagina ends in a "dead end" -- it's even called the "cul de sac." NuvaRing can't "get lost" in the vagina.

NuvaRing will work no matter where it's place in the vagina, but most women find it more comfortable to insert it high into the vagina near the cervix.

I don't really understand since when you have not stopped bleeding, but obviously you have been bleeding for longer than 10 days, or you would not ask. Such problems are mostly complex hormonal issues, which I can't identify. But a doctor can, and lucky for you, the solutions are really easy. So just visit your doctor and ask for him to check your hormones.

Yes, I did not insert my NuvaRing for 9 days and found out I was pregnant. Follow all of the directions and be sure to use backup if your ring is out greater than 7 days.

Well that was a discussion you should have had with the person that did your piercing. Not knowing what piercing we are talking about any response will be a guess based on no information. Talk to your piercer.

It works no matter where it is placed in the vagina. You can choose based on comfort and stability (how well it stays in place). For most women the most comfortable location is as far into the vagina as you can reach.

I can't give you an official answer, but from personal experience yes. I suffered from intense burning sensations while on the nuva ring especially after intercourse. I also looked into the issue, and have found that many women suffer from this as well. It isn't however listed as an official side effect. The best advice I can give you is to stop using it and switch to a new form on birth control, if you still are suffering from the burning sensation you should probably seek medical help. Some STD's can also cause vaginal irritation, and it is wise to also check for these.
hope I could be of some help

My girlfriend uses the nuvaring and is also an OB nurse. As long as the ring is in place it continues to release hormones in your body which prevent you from getting pregnant. It won't just stop releasing these hormones after the 21 day cycle. I'm not sure exactly how long it would take for all the hormones to be released but 2 days is certainly not a long enough time.

The brand name of the vaginal ring for birth control is NuvaRing.

Hi, You can start taking birth control whenever you wish but you must never miss a dose as this will increase your chances of pregnancy. If you want your period to arrive on the same date then take your birth control on the 1st day of your period. You must continue to take birth control everyday and not miss a pill. If you miss a pill or several pills then you're at risk of pregnancy and you must always use a condom for 2 weeks when you miss one or more pills. Birth control does not reach its full effectiveness until you've been taking it for one month and you've received your 1st period while on birth control.

There is no risk from inserting the next NuvaRing early. You may actually lower the risk of pregnancy.

It can be a sign of pregnancy but it can also be a sign of stress or a stomach virus if you are experiencing breast tenderness, frequent urination, food cravings or aversions, missed period, increased vaginal discharge go get an at home test but if you got your period on time this motnh I wouldn't be worried but if you are go to your doctor and get them to check you out and see whats going on hope everything works out for you Good luck and God Bless!!!

While some women feel some vaginal or urethral irritation if the Nuva Ring presses against the front of the vagina, taking out the Nuva Ring would not be expected to cause painful urination.

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. 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've had three negative pregnancy tests, miscarriage is not a likely diagnosis.

By covering your ears and cheking the products

No, it's not bad. You had it right. You just need to put it in on the same day, not at the same time (Source: Contraceptive Technology, 18th ed)

Hi, This is not uncommon. I know a Woman who did not have a period for 5 months after stopping birth control pill and there was no medical cause for this. In most cases, you need to rule out pregnancy. Once this has been ruled out, if your period doesn't arrive within 2-3 months and you are definitley not pregnant, then it is due to the hormones contained in birth control pills still remaining in your system. This can make your period very late or arrive early because your body suddenly experiences flare ups of hormones and then the next day no extra hormones. This can confuse your cycle. But if you are worried see your doctor hun.

Easy! Next time you're on your ring-free week, insert the ring on Friday (two days early). There will be no decrease in effectiveness from this change. The important principle to remember is not to have a ring-free interval longer than 7 days.

You only have to wait a week when inserting the first ring the first time. Otherwise, as long as it hasn't been more than a week since you had a ring in, there's no need to abstain or use a back up method during the first week.
