A member asked:

I was supposed to put the next nuvaring last friday i've been on it for 6mon. today is the 8th day i've been without it. could i put the new one today?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Might need back up: It is recommended that women place a new NuvaRing seven days after the previous one was removed. There is a small chance having the NuvaRing out the extra 1-2 days will increase your chances of becoming pregnant this month, so it might be safest to use a backup method (like condoms) during intercourse. The new NuvaRing can be put in today.

Dr Eitner and another doctor agreed
