A member asked:

I've been on the nuvaring but i take it out all the time during sex but i put it in right after sex. does this give me the risk of getting pregnant.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Removal and replacement of the intravaginal contraceptive ring will not significantly lower the hormones in your body to cause an ovulation. I don't recommend leaving it out for a day.
