A member asked:

I left my nuvaring in a week longer than usual, left it in 4 instead of 3.have had unprotected sex since removal can i get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: There is enough hormonal reserve in the NuvaRing to last about 30 days instead of the 21 that you wold use it for as directed. However, when you take it out, hormone levels return to normal quickly and you are at risk for pregnancy.

Dr Samuel and another doctor agreed
