A member asked:

Today i took out my nuvaring for the 3hrs that you can before having sex. he came inside me and i forgot to put it back in how likely isit to get preg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: The risk depends on several things. Where were you in your cycle? How long did you leave it out? The nuva ring is not meant to be taken out for sex. Next time leave it in and be safe.
