I just started the ring the other day. I had my period earlier this month, so I'm a little over the "appropraite" time to begin, but I was worried about breakthrough bleeding in Sept (my birthday and vacation)and my doc said it was ok to go ahead and start. She suggested to insert on the 1st of the month and take it out on the 25th of the month. I assume this is more for memory purposes, but I think I'm just confusing myself by overresearching. Most of what I've read has the ring in for 3 weeks, take it out and begin a new one on the day of the week and time that you began, but the 1st/25th thing doesn't really work out well on a month to month basis (28/30/31 days in a given month).
Any thoughts or comments would be most appreciated! Thanx!

it should be in for 3 weeks (21 days), out for 1 week (7 days). it doesn't matter what day of the week, but it's always in 3 weeks, out 1 week. i'm not sure why she would tell you the 1st/25th of the month. That to me is incorrect, since it should be in for 21 days. Just follow the directions in the package, and I am sure you will be fine.
