Help with NuvaRing
| Fri, 07-02-2004 - 3:01pm |
Hello everyone. I'm going to start NuvaRing soon and I'm confused about when to start it.
I'm currently on Yasmin and don't like the breakthrough bleeding. So.. my question is.. when do I insert the ring? I'm about to start my period and normally I would start a new pack of pills after my period. Is that when I enter the ring? Or do I enter it durning my period. I'm confised. The package says anytime within 7 days after the last pill, but after the last pill, i'm usually on my period. Is that right?? Please help!
Thanks!

My first month of using Nuvaring, I inserted it during my period. I'll warn you, it's kinda yucky to put it in during your period. Oh, and be careful if you use tampons during your period...when I took out my tampon, the ring came with it sometimes. So you might want to check your tampon before you flush it to make sure the ring isn't attached.
