Nuvaring question
| Sat, 07-10-2004 - 12:57am |
I've been on Nuvaring for 4 months. I left my Nuvaring in for an extra 5 days to get back on my Sunday schedule, then took it out for a ring free break. I spotted throughout the extra week, then lightly bled for 2 days, and spotted again. Usually I begin to lightly - almost barely spotting the day before I have to take it out and begin my period 2 days later.
Now, I read on the Nuvaring website that if I left Nuvaring in for an extra week to remove it and insert a new one after ring free break. (which I did)
Then I read on:
"You must use an extra method of birth control, such as male condoms or spermicide, until the new NuvaRing® has been in place for seven days in a row."
-does this apply only if it has been in place for MORE than 4 weeks?

"If Nuvaring has been left in place for longer than four weeks, pregnancy should be ruled out, and an additional method of contraception...MUST be used until a new Nuvaring has been used continuously for seven days."
Hope that helps!
