nuvaring cycle

I am on my second cycle with nuvaring and tomorrow is my scheduled day to take the ring out. Lately it seems a lot of people have been saying that they leave the ring in for an extra week and i know the website says that if you "accidently" leave it in you should be ok. However, i dont really know how i feel about messing around with birth control. At the same time, if it is perfectly safe then i would rather not get my period as often and not have to go through rings so quickly. Is it absolutely 100% safe to leave in the ring for an extra week and get the same level of protection? Thanks....I just need a little encouragement to not follow instructions.

Hi cece8705, welcome!

I leave my ring in for four weeks occasionally.
