Hello. i got prescribed a vaginal ring as a contraceptive method. it is called nuvaring. i started using it yesterday on the 2nd day of my cycle. i wasn't using a hormonal contraceptive before. how long should i wait before having unprotected sex ?

During the first month of use of the Nuva ring, use a supplemental condom in conjunction with it until the first period for extra protection from an unintended pregnancy.
