? for Nuva Ring Users

I am new to the board, actually I visit regularly, but have never posted...I have been using the Nuva Ring for 6 months and absolutely love it, my problem..I went on Vacation and didn't insert my Nuva Ring. I was supposed to insert it on Friday, July 9th, but didn't get home till today (July 15) and got my prescription fulled.

How long will I have to use another form of Birth Control till the Nuva Ring will be effective...I looked on their website, but didn't see anything that answered that question.

Thanks in advance

I would say use it until your new ring has been in and on schedule for 1 month. I was on the ring, and you can have it out for 3 hours at a time, but to be safe use a condom for the rest of this cycle and the next.

Sneaking out of lurkdom? ;)


This would be like if you were starting birth control all over, rather than like a normal month.
