Nuva Ring Question

I have been on the ring before and out of all birth control have liked it the most. I was on it for the month of August while my dh was home, he then went back to his unit on the other side of the country, and is now unexpectedly returning home next week (for which we are thankful) so heres my question.

Am I able to insert a new ring today. I am not due for my period for another week or so but I don't want to wait that long. Will I (or should I say we) be protected if I insert the ring today and it is in for a 7 days before we actually have sex? Thanks for any and all advice. Like I said I was on the ring until the 30th of August then went off. We could always use condoms but I get extremely sore from there, making me think I am allergic to the latex down there.

THanks.

Thank you so much for the reassurance, I figured I could but I just wanted to hear it from someone else. LOL. I called Nuva Ring and they would only read what I could read on the label to me, so they were no help.
