Ring Mishap.....
| Mon, 01-08-2007 - 8:36am |
Hi I was just wondering if anyone can help me figure this out. I was supposed to take out my ring on December 31st, 2006. However, with the New Years Eve Hoopla, I totally forgot about it, and took it out the following morning (January 1, 2007 Monday) at 8:00 AM. Is this okay? I got my period a day or two later, and I just inserted the new ring this morning at 7:00 AM (following suit of the 7 days, not trying to screw it up more... arrrgh!) Was I still protected from pregnancy, and am I still protected from pregnancy even though I took the ring out on day 22 instead of day 21? Any help will be appreciated. Hope everyone had a great New Year and holiday season! Thanks!

Have a wonderful new year!

You can definitely wear one ring for 28 days.
New to Nuvaring,
Quick question, I realize you can't go more then 7 days ring free just like any other type of hormonal contraceptive but would 30min late inserting count? Should I use another form on bc for another 7 days?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Jill
Thanks everyone for your reply,
For anyone who is out there thinking about getting the ring here are my experiences. Although this is only my 2nd month on it I LOVE IT. I have had no significant side effects if any at all that I have noticed. My reason for switching to the ring was because I had to get off of the pill for 3 months due to constant spotting and not able to find a pill that worked for me. With the pill I would be horribly depressed for about two weeks when I would first start it and same thing when I had to get off of it. Not to mention the loss of libido which for me was no longer existant.
Although i don't know if the same thing is going to happen with the ring but so far so good. Plus, can't go wrong with only thinking about it once a month rather then everyday right?
Again thanks again for the reply
Carol
