Worried - Question about NuvaRing

Sun, 04-22-2007 - 12:21am
I put my new ring in on Friday and me and the bf had sex that night. He ejaculated in me and I'm worried about becoming preganant. I'm still protected during the 7 days I didn't have it in right? Does it matter if I just inserted the ring that morning? Help please...I'm freaking out a little. I've been on the ring for a little over a year and have been pretty good at putting it in at the same time, except Friday morning I inserted it about 5 minutes later than usual...does this make a difference? HELP!

As long as you only had it out for the 7 days your were supposed to you should be perfectly fine. Five minutes would not make or break the deal. I was on the ring, but prefered to use it consecutively only having my period once every 9 weeks (skipping my periods).

4 1/2 years and counting.....As long as you use the ring properly, you are still protected for the seven days that you have it out. I don't think 5 minutes is going to make a difference, I think you'd have to be late putting it in by hours for it to be a problem. I've been up to an hour late, I think, with no problems.

Don't worry! Everything should be fine. ;)
