NuvaRing

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.

You can skip your period for as long as you like (there is no maximum) or not at all, depending on your preferences.

I can't answer your question exactly, but the company that invented it is Organon, and it first received FDA approval in 2001, so it is a relatively new contraceptive method. I can say that most of the women I have seen in clinic who have tried it do give it positive reviews, after getting over the initial stigma of how to place and use it properly. NuvaRing is the trade name for a vaginal ring prescription contraceptive sold by Organon. It is a flexible plastic ring that administers a low dose of a progestin and an estrogen over the course of 3-4 weeks. NuvaRing was first approved in The Netherlands on February 14, 2001, then by all 14 other countries then in the European Union on June 12, 2001, and in the United States by the FDA on October 3, 2001.[1] NuvaRing was first marketed in the United States in July 2002, followed by several other European countries in late 2002.[2] In March 2007, Organon announced the market launch of NuvaRing in Australia, bringing the total number of countries where NuvaRing is available to 32. NuvaRing is currently used by approximately 1.5 million women worldwide.

No; an LSIL pap or biopsy is typically caused by HPV-related changes.

There are no known drug interactions betwen Celebrex and Nuva Ring.

There is no need to wait to conceive after stopping NuvaRing. You can get pregnant as soon as you like.

I suppose that "birth control" could also be called "temporary infertility," but that's not a common way of putting it. NuvaRing prevents pregnancy. When you stop, fertility returns.

Using two NuvaRings simultaneously can significantly increase the risk of side effects and complications, such as elevated hormone levels leading to potential cardiovascular issues like blood clots, stroke, or heart attack. Additionally, it may cause heightened hormonal side effects, including nausea, headaches, and mood changes. It is important to follow the prescribed guidelines for contraceptive use and consult a healthcare provider if there are any concerns.

No, if you would read the information on the prescription packet, it explains that you insert a ring and leave it in for 3 weeks, and take it out after a week of being ring free. You were given a 3 month supply.

After seven months, the problem of irregular periods can't be attributed to Nuva Ring. It makes sense to talk with your health care provider to find out what might be causing your irregular periods. Getting some information on that situation might help guide you to a solution. Be sure to think about what your periods were like prior to using hormonal birth control, and what might have changed in your life (weight? medications? new symptoms?). Seven months of metrorrhagia (overly frequent periods) definitely deserves an exam and discussion.

Like taking the pill, antibiotics can reduce the efficiency of the Nuvaring. There could be many more medications so the best thing to do is phone your pharmacist (or any drug store pharmacist) and tell them you are on Nuvaring and is it alright to take this medication. I do that with anything I have to take.

Nuva Ring works no matter where in the vagina it is placed. The slipping can be frustrating and uncomfortable, but it does not affect how well Nuva Ring works.

If you used it consistently in the three weeks, and had sex within seven days of the end of that three week period, you have the same protection as when it was in the vagina.

If your blood pressure increased due to the estrogen in NuvaRing, it's likely to drop again within two weeks or less. Be sure to keep all follow-up appointments to monitor your blood pressure, and talk with your health care provider about an alternate method without estrogen.

If you were able to use it before without discomfort, and are uncomfortable now, the problem may be constipation, or it may be that you simply didn't insert it high enough in the vagina. If you're having pain or discomfort during sex as well, it makes sense to get an exam with your health care provider.

Nope this isn't possible.

If you used Nuva Ring correctly during the previous three weeks, you have the same level of protection during the off week as you did in the previous three. It's not 100% effective, so pregnancy is possible, but it's not more likely during the off week.

No, the Nuva Ring offers no protection in the 5th week. It is effective for the first three weeks it's in. In the fourth week, you normally remove the ring. You are still protected against pregnancy from the use during the previous three weeks, but not from having the ring in the vagina. In the fifth week, protection runs out. A women who finds she's forgotten to change the ring four weeks or more after the last one was inserted should remove the old ring, insert a new ring, and use that as the new ring change day. The new ring should be removed after three weeks, on the same day of the week it was inserted. If she has had intercourse during that fifth week, she might consider using emergency contraception to reduce the risk of pregnancy from sex that occurred during the previous five days.

You will lose protection if you start the new pack a day late (that is, if you go more than seven days without taking an active pill). If you do that, you must use a back up method for the first seven days of that new pack.

A better way to move your start day a day later is to take the first placebo pill in the pack as scheduled, then start your new pack the next day. Doing so will not affect protection.

No, NuvaRing is a combined hormonal birth control method.

Skipping your period with NuvaRing does not increase the risk of pregnancy. Using hormonal birth control with a shorter or absent break may actually lower the risk of pregnancy.
