Question 2

can i overdose on nuvaring?

Accepted Answer

Would be hard: I am not sure how someone could overdose exactly? One NuvaRing is placed in the vagina for three weeks. It is then removed for one week allowing the period to be triggered. The next week you place a new one. If you are using it like that then you will get a predictable steady dose of hormones to prevent pregnancy. You only use one at a time and then remove it after three weeks.

Question 3

do i have to take a week break on nuvaring?

Accepted Answer

No: It is perfectly safe to leave the ring in for four weeks and then put a new one in.  If you do this you will tend not to have a period  but there is nothing wrong with this. The only reason to take a break is to bring down a period which is totally artificial.

Question 4

while being on the nuvaring for the past several months now, my boyfriend let in in me. should i be concern?

Accepted Answer

Always possible: There is no 100% sure contraception aside from abstinence; that being said, with several months of usage of NuvaRing the likelihood is low.  However, there is no protection against stds, so if there is a concern, go get checked!

Question 5

on nuvaring. is it ok if i leave it in for 24 days and have a 4 day break? instead of 21 days in 7 days out.

Accepted Answer

Probably yes but why: I do not believe there is any scientific support for or against what you are requesting to do with NuvaRing.  I can not think of any reason why NuvaRing would not continue to protect you and reduce your risks of getting pregnant. "Leaving it in for 24 days" may even (possibly ) increase your protection..

Question 6

i suppost to use my nuvaring tomorrow, but i forgot to get my refill, that affect my circle if i put it back on wednsday?

Accepted Answer

That is okay: Putting in the NuvaRing one day late will probably not affect anything.  But, given the slight variation in its use, consider using backup protection (condoms) for the next three weeks.

Question 7

my husband and i are trying for a baby and i've been on the nuvaring for 2 years and i wanted to know how long it takes to come outta your system?

Accepted Answer

Nuva ring: Generally i recommend that patients wait at least 3 months after stopping hormonal contraceptive before attempting to conceive.   The longer time interval you wait - the less likely any issues will occur but i would wait at least 3 months.

Question 8

i accidentally removed  my nuvaring after 2weeks. so should i still expect a cycle? im supposed to put a new ring in on friday which is in two days.

Accepted Answer

Accidentally?: Off nuvaring for 2 weeks? Flow occurs when hormone levels drop after removal of ring.You may not have had much lining build up so could have limited shedding. If no risk of current pregnancy go ahead and restart the ring. If unsure do home preg test.  Use condoms for backup, and write the date of insertion and removal on a calender to remind yourself of schedule to limit repeat of the problem.

Question 9

i was supposed to put the next nuvaring last friday i've been on it for 6mon. today is the 8th day i've been without it. could i put the new one today?

Accepted Answer

Might need back up: It is recommended that women place a new NuvaRing seven days after the previous one was removed. There is a small chance having the NuvaRing out the extra 1-2 days will increase your chances of becoming pregnant this month, so it might be safest to use a backup method (like condoms) during intercourse. The new NuvaRing can be put in today.

Question 10

put in nuvaring 3-4 hours late after ring-free week. took it out on thursday around 10/11pm, put it in a week later on friday at 2:10am am i protected?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You should be protected after the first week. Use some protection like condom the first week to be safer. In the future, I prefer to use the Nuva Ring constantly so there is no gap. You will need to change your ring every 3 weeks. Or you can choose to insert it a day earlier.
