Starting on nuvaring

Hi,

I am starting on nuva ring after being on the pill for three years. I put the ring in on the day I would normally start back on the real pills after taking the placebo pills for a week, and I was wondering if I was still protected against pregnancy? Or do I have to wait 7 days?

Thanks!

I just started the ring today as well, after 2.5 years on the pill. My doctor told me to use backup (although she didn't say for how long), so I am going to err on the side of caution for at least the first week, but most likely for the first month. HTH!
