A member asked:
If you start nuva ring the day after your period, are you protected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If you start NuvaRing on the first day of bleeding or are switching directly from other hormonal birth control like the pill or patch, then-yes-you are protected. If you start NuvaRing on later days of bleeding e.G, days 2-5 you are not protected right away and must use additional protection in this first cycle. It is best to start on the first day of cycle so you can be protected right away!
