Thanks!

Hi mkemore, welcome back!

If you have been using your ring correctly (not leaving it out more than three hours at a time and not taking med’s that might interfere with it’s effectiveness) then you are protected during your ring-free week.

Good luck to you,

Yes, even if you have sex! That's the whole point of hormonal birth control, continuous protection. Enjoy!

They wouldn't call it birth control if you couldn't! I've been a ring user for about 15 months--it works just like the pill and yes you are safe to have otherwise unprotected sex in your ring-free week, just make sure you insert your new ring on time!

Good luck!
