A member asked:
How long after inserting a vaginal ring should one wait before having unprotected sex?my partner says her doctor told her to wait a month,while the notice on the box says to only wait a week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The "ring" has a hormonal component which is the "active" contraceptive ingredient , and to be at optimum effectiveness , should be in place for several days to a week. This form of birth control is not 100% protective, even if the hormone has been activated appropriately.
