A member asked:

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.

A doctor has provided 1 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..

On NuvaRing. Insertion: Aug 15 @ 4:15pm. Removal: Sept 5 @ 4:15pm. When taking a break does it have to be 7 days? Can I instead have a 4 day break?
