Have had regular periods on nuvaring for 5 years. was one day late putting ring in and did not have any period. should i put the next ring in?

Sure: Check a pregnancy test - if negative then continue the ring as before. The periods tend to get lighter when using the ring (or the pill) - so to occasionally skip a period is not uncommon.

Longtime user of Nuvaring. I removed it on 10/3, and had my period from 10/5-10/9. I inserted a new one in 10/10. I was intimate with my husband on 10/14, and today I noticed the ring had fallen out (likely on 10/14). What do I need to do?
