Common Questions and Answers about Continuous nuvaring use

nuvaring

Avatar f tn Throw the ring away and choose 1 of the 2 options below: 1. Insert a new ring immediately. This begins the next 3-week use period. You may not have a period but you may experience breakthrough spotting or bleeding. 2. Have your period and insert a new ring no later than 7 days from the time the previous ring was removed or expelled. This option should be chosen only if the ring was used continuously for the preceding 7 days.
392087 tn?1252605359 You insert it into your vagina once a month* — the exact position isn’t important for it to work. Once inside, NuvaRing® releases a continuous, low dose of hormones to prevent pregnancy. NuvaRing® is as effective as the Pill when used as directed, but you don’t have to take it every day. You leave NuvaRing® in place for 3 weeks, then remove it for a 1-week ring-free period. You should get your period during this “week off.
Avatar f tn My doctor put me on Nuvaring four weeks ago to help slow the growth of the fibroids as well as help with the severe pain that accompany them. I am on the continuous use schedule, wearing the ring for three weeks then, instead of an "off week", I insert another. I have had some spotting as well as cramping, (I've resigned that I am just cursed with terrible cramps) but other than that, I have had no negative side effects. It is simple and I don't even feel it.
Avatar n tn also it is supposed to be fully effective after 7 days of continuous use in which it has not been out for more than 3 hours. if it is out for more than 7 days after the 3 weeks in, u need to abstain or use alternative protection such as spermicides(which do not counteract nuvaring in any way) until it has once again been in for 7 days continuously.
Avatar f tn It wont Wrk. All the medicine n the nuvaring has already came out. Its ineffective! !!!
Avatar f tn Ok, so I wear my nuvaring continuous, meaning, I wear it for a full 28 days and then toss it and immediately replace it with a new one for the next 28 day cycle, so I don't have periods. I was supposed to change my ring on dec 29th, well, I forgot to set an alarm and didn't. It was still in, but past the 28 day cycle, I realized it this morning, Jan 2nd, 4 days past due. Husband and I had sex last night, he always finishes inside me bc I'm on the ring.
1134902 tn?1296066144 I am now on day 3 of no nuvaring and I am cramping bleeding large blood clots and I cant find any info about what to expect after the removal and stopping the use of nuvaring
Avatar m tn You started Nuvaring, it can take a few days for your period to start especially when your on yo ur first mornth of Nuvaring. It takes 3 months for your body to regulate hormones. Now if you had unprotected sex within the first week of being on nuvaring (if you hadn't been on another birth control method before) then it's possible to get pregnant. I was on Nuvaring for 3 months and had no issues with it.
Avatar f tn s apparently just the shedding of the uterine lining. It happened A few days after removing my nuvaring I had 2 large fleshy pieces a little smaller then the palm of my hand. I also passed a hard rubbery clot the size and shape of a large grape. This all happened after 3 weeks straight of continuous spotting. I seem to have finally stopped bleeding and spotting a week after passing the matter.
Avatar f tn Hi!!! I'm 20 years old and I had my baby two months ago and I'm not sure what birth control to use... I have thought of two but my husband doesn't want me to get them, one of the birth control that I thought of is the 1 that is like a "t" but my husband doesn't want me to get it because he says that its going to poke his penis when he wants to put it inside n also ppl have told me that hurts when they put it inside of u..
889551 tn?1416184483 Hard to say. If you DO choose to use the NuvaRing though, just remember to use additional protection for as long as it specifies to. Usually it's a month you need to use protection while it become effective.
Avatar f tn I was thinking the same thing that my body is trying to get use to not being on the NuvaRing. I have not taken a test yet. I was trying to wait it out to see if my cycle comes on by the end of the month.
Avatar f tn So I use nuvaring. My periods are always on schedule according to when I insert the ring, and when I take it out. Well, it's been out for 5 days and I haven't gotten my period. I bought a pregnancy test and it was inconclusive. I bought two more and plan on using them tomorrow morning. My main concern though is that I have bipolar disorder and I am on a TON of strong medication for my illness.
Avatar f tn I think it should be fine in the resealable foil bag. Put it back in that and you should be good.
Avatar n tn Many people have experienced pains and light bleeding while having intercourse and using nuvaring. It seems to affect everyone differently, but it's very likely the nuvaring is the source of your problems. I would suggest trying a different form of birth control, as this one is obviously not for you.
Avatar n tn I started Nuvaring September the 18th of this year and I did not have sex till October 1st but me and my partner didn't use a condom and he came inside me, do I have to use a contraception pill or will I be okay?
Avatar n tn Your doctor will tell which day of your menstrual cycle to insert the first vaginal ring you use. During the first 7 days of using your first vaginal ring, you may need to use back-up birth control, such as condoms or a spermicide. Follow your doctor's instructions. The NuvaRing should be left in place for 3 full weeks. Remove the ring after 3 weeks, on the same day of the week it was inserted at about the same time of day. Allow 1 full week to pass before inserting the new ring.
Avatar f tn ve read that this is not necessarily worrying, maybe my period will come later, but what should I do about the NuvaRing? Does it still work? Should I take it out, should I keep it in but use additional contraceptives? I'm lost about how and when the NuvaRing works, because the instructions only say what you should do, not why. If it gives off hormones as soon as it's in, then why is the timing so precise? Thanks.
Avatar f tn Unfortunately, I had been planning on starting the nuvaring this cycle on the first day of my period. Can I still use the nuvaring even though it is passed the first day of my cycle?
7535508 tn?1391720305 So I got my nexplanon removed march 4th, I went and got the nuvaring. Needless to say I forgot it in my car for a few days had intercourse with hubby then remembered I had not put in my nuvaring... dumb me I know!!! Now for almost a week ive been having pregnancy symptoms.. like double the intensity I had with both my children. Ive been readin online and it says to effectivly switch from implant to nuvaring it needs to be in for 7 days before implant removal.
Avatar f tn Okay so for the past 3 months I have been a day late on putting in my nuvaring. I use to put in on sundays. Then I put it in on Monday. The next month, Tuesday and now Wednesday. Well it's currently Monday. I usually have my period 3 days after taking my nuvaring out. It's been 5 days since I took it out and still no period. Should I be worried because I was being irresponsible and putting it in a day late..?
Avatar f tn We had sex on Sunday before I was due to put my nuvaring in that day and all was normal. Sunday night, I inserted my nuvaring and starting monday I have had the worst vagina odor ever. I smelled it Monday, washed it and went on my way but it doesn't go away. It is not a fishy smell, it is a foul rotten smell. My boyfriend and I were having sex last night and he smelled it and asked me about it.
Avatar f tn Today is day 34 (5 days after removing the nuvaring) and am still flowing heavy and am finally able to use a tampon. I also was cramping badly after trying to insert the tampon. I would say it's related to the nuvaring and would mention it to your doctor. They may want you to come early to be checked out.
Avatar f tn it just depends on the person it can give u yeast infections i use to get them alot but i use the nuvaring now n haven't got one i use non scented soaps i love the nuvaring so far
