Finish period: When period it over insert new nuvaring and leave it in for 3 weeks and then remove after 3 weeks for one week and continue this routine. Periods should normalize during the week off. If not see your Gynecologist who prescribes the nuvaring.

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?
