A member asked:

I just started a nuvaring today, but my cycle is incredibly irregular so i just put it in. is it still going to work because i didn't time it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely yes: however to be sure using condoms in first two weeks, could help, unless you are already pregnant. Using condoms regularly to avoid virus and bacteria exposure is recommended!
