Nuvaring-need temp stop or delay period
| Tue, 06-01-2004 - 5:38pm |
Hello everyone. I've been on the Nuvaring a few months now. I have some stomach cramps..especially when the 3rd week approaches, but other than that, it's been great.
I have a dilemma. I only get to see my boyfriend every few months and will be going to see him on July 4th. Well, my Nuvaring is supposed to come out this coming Sunday, June 6th. I usually get my period 2 days after...so then I would be putting a new one in June 13th. The big problem with this is that the next time I would take out the Nuvaring, it would be July 4th...the week I'm going to visit him. I definitely do not want to have my period then! I didn't realize this until today. There must be something I can do to delay or make sure I don't get my period that particular week. Am I too late to do anything? Please help! It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hanna

You're in luck! As I understand it, from what I've read and heard on here, the Nuvaring is perfectly safe to leave in for four weeks straight without compromising effectiveness. I'm sure other people on here will chime in with clearer information as to WHY that is true. As always if you aren't sure you can contact your doctor! The nuvaring website (http://www.nuvaring.com) states that if you forget to take the ring out and leave it in for up to an extra 7 days it is ok, you just remove it and have your ring free week as usual.
