Ok to start nuvarng after day 5?
| Sat, 06-02-2007 - 8:58pm |
I was going to start the nuvaring this cycle but my period came on Monday I didn't get time to fill my perscription until today. Today would be day 6. Is it bad to start the nuvaring later than day 5? I know I'll need to use a back-up method for the first month but my doctor advised me to do that anyway to be safe. Are there any other problems? Would it be better to wait another cycle?

Hi again

im not on any BC right now being that im pregnant but i was on Nuva ring for about a year right before we started Trying to get pregnant. I have dificulties taking hormonal bc i seem to get alot of bad sideffects but nuva ring had the least ammount for me and i loved how easy it was that i dident have to worry about it for 3 weeks. expecially when we did alot of camping and things like that it was nice not to have to remember to take my bc along. I hope that it works out well for you.let me know if you have any questions and ill try to answer them.

hey, my dr had my start the sunday after my period started. if it started sunday, you put it in, but if start it monday, you wait until the next sunday to put it in. you should be fine. i don't remember how mine started out though.
i love the ring. i started in february, i think. don't remember exactly. i had been on orthotricylin lo to start off and it was horrible. it made me go psycho. but the ring works really well. it has made my period lighter and shorter than EVER. it seriously is only one full day, then just a tiny bit for 2-3 days after that...i used to have it for 5-7 days and it woudl come whenever. no it comes wednesday morning of the week i have it. give it a few months to get your body used to it, then you'll know when yours will be coming. it's so nice.
also, if you go to the nuvaring webpage, they have free electronic thingys that can keep track of when to take it out/put it in. i got mine in the mail today. not sure how helpful it'll be in the long run, but it's excites me.
just make sure you keep the ring in between the temps that it says to. with summer being here, it's making me nervous!
