Slight Problem ...

I accidently put my ring back in at 6:00, instead of 5:00... I was an hour late because I forgot. But I wanted to continue having the "5:00" schedule, so when it was time to take the ring out - I took it out at 5:00. Is this going to complicate matters? I took my ring out on Monday, but it is friday already and I have no period. I am not too worried yet because my period comes on Sat usually, but I do not know what to expect now with me putting it in on an hour difference.

Hi there,

I don't believe an hour is really going to make that much of a difference, as a long as it has only been 7 days with the ring out. I honestly don't take mine out and put it back in on the same hour each time. Even when I was on the pill I used my first start day as as the time to change the time I took it for the whole month. I could be doing it wrong, so maybe some one else will have something to add.

I don't think I'd sweat an hour either. I do have a specific "ring" time that I stick to within 1/2 hour or so, but I figure starting probably follows the same theory as the pill--on time is best, but a little off isn't bad.

Just my two cents!
