Question 1

i have been on the birth control nuvaring for about two years. today i got my period early before taking it out. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

OK: Occasionally, things may be out of sync or rhythm. Do a pregnancy test if this is a possibility, if negative, stick to your regimen.

Question 2

i took out nuvaring a week early and never put one back in am i protected?

Accepted Answer

Not even a little: I always tell my patients for birth control to work you have to actually use it :) after one week you have no residual effect of the NuvaRing in your system. You are now back to your normal fertility.

Question 3

i took the nuvaring out after two days can i get pregnant a week after?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on what day of your cycle you were on.  The cycle begins on the first day of your period and for women with regular periods, they usually ovulate 12-15 days after their period starts.  So to be safe, if you don't want to get pregnant, you should either not have intercourse or use condoms.  Hope this helps.

Question 4

will i bleed taking the nuvaring out 2 weeks early?

Accepted Answer

Ring removal/bleed: Most likely yes, because your uterine lining will shed.

Question 5

i have been on the nuvaring constantly for over four months. i have been spotting for two to three weeks at a time. is that normal for the nuvaring?

Accepted Answer

It can be: Breakthrough bleeding can be a problem for any hormonal type contraceptive of which the Nuva Ring is one.

Question 6

what are the chances of getting pregnant within two weeks without the nuvaring?

Accepted Answer

15 percent per month: Every cycle, a woman, has a 15 percent chance of getting pregnant when they are off of birth control.

Question 7

i was using nuvaring for a little over a year and two weeks ago, jan. 20th, i decided to stop using it.  i've had sex almost everyday after. am i preg?

Accepted Answer

Possible: The possibility of pregnancy increases with sexual intercourse without using contraception. Do a pregnancy test. You may see your doctor for a pregnancy test or you may obtain a test from your pharmacy and do it yourself at home. If you are not desiring of pregnancy then you should resume using contraception.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can expect to bleed when you take the ring out just as you can when you skip or stop pills.

Question 9

i've had breakthrough bleeding (19-23) because i took nuvaring out a week early. now i feel bloated , but period isn't suppose to come until next week?

Accepted Answer

That's normal: When you take out the Nuvaring or withdraw hormonal contraception,you are supposed to bleed after this happens.Youvare having a normal response

Question 10

i just got off nuvaring this month, had a regular period and have had cramping now for the past two weeks. is this normal?

Maybe: If your pregnancy test is negative, you may wish to wait 1 cycle to see if your cramping resolves. If you had menstrual cramps before nuvaring, they will probably return off the drug. If your symptoms worsen or persist, please see your healthcare provider.
