What if you accidentally left the NuvaRing in for 2 months?
Remove the NuvaRing, replace it with a new one, get a pregnancy test if you've had intercourse during the previous four weeks, consider emergency contraception if you've had intercourse in the prior 72 hours, and consult your health care provider.
If the nuvaring comes out will its effectiveness decrease?
If NuvaRing is out for less than three hours, there's no worries about effectiveness. Just rinse it in lukewarm water and reinsert.
When can you expect to have a period after you discontinue the NuvaRing on your first week of use?
If you inserted NuvaRing during your period, you're likely to bleed again in two to four weeks.
How does NuvaRing work?
NuvaRing remains effective for up to four weeks after inserting it. If you leave it in for the four weeks, though, be sure to insert the next ring at the end of the four weeks; don't take a ring-free week unless you had it in for just three weeks.
When can you breastfeed after removing NuvaRing?
You can breastfeed with or without NuvaRing in. If you are relying on NuvaRing for pregnancy prevention, taking it out to breastfeed is going to increase your risk for pregnancy. If you're breastfeeding while using NuvaRing, removing it for a few hours does nothing to improve your milk supply, but does make it less effective. Please contact your health care provider, pharmacist, or lactation consultant to discuss NuvaRing and breastfeeding, as it seems there has been some misunderstanding. NuvaRing may decrease milk volume, which could be important with a newborn. It does not affect the quality of the milk.
What if you put in your NuvaRing a few hours late - after the seven-day ring-free period?
If you miss the first three days of your NuvaRing cycle, you should use a backup method until you've worn the ring for seven days. If you had sex during that time, consider using emergency contraception.
Where do you insert nuvaring?
You insert NuvaRing in the vagina.
When does your period stop after inserting NuvaRing?
Yes, stopping NuvaRing will normally cause bleeding. Just as you bleed when you remove NuvaRing after three weeks, you will have withdrawal bleeding after you stop NuvaRing permanently. Your regular menstrual pattern should restart within four to six weeks.
Does urine affect NuvaRing?
Urine does not affect NuvaRing.
What hormones are in nuvaring?
NuvaRing contains etonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol.
Why are you spotting after taking out NuvaRing?
When NuvaRing is in, it is releasing hormones in your body. When you take out NuvaRing that hormone level goes down, and you have bleeding or spotting.
Is there a weight limit for using NuvaRing?
There is no weight limit for using NuvaRing.
