Q: will the nuva ring be effective if taken out during sex with in the third week period or after the 3 weeks are up?

If &gt; 3hrs: If NuvaRing slips out or is removed for less than 3 hrs during the 3 weeks its meant to be in, it should still be effective. It's ok to have sex during the 4th week when the ring is out.
