Common Questions and Answers about How does nuvaring work

nuvaring

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 Ok so I took a hpt last night and it was negative. I took another one this morning and it had a really light line. So I'm gonna try to get blood work done Monday to confirm if its a yes or no. I hate waiting lol.
Avatar n tn I have been on the nuvaring for three months now, yesterday at work while in the bathroom i noticed a small amount of brownish blood on the toilet paper . I normally have this type of blood at the beginning of my period. I experienced this while the nuvaring was still in, but thought it was just breakthrough bleeding. I went home on break and checked my calendar and realized i should have taken the nuvaring out the day before.

1027094 tn?1327429732 Just wondering if anyone has gotten pregnant on the nuvaring? Oh and if when you put it back in are you suppose to do it at the same time of day too?? I know you are suppose to put it in on the same day, not sure about the same time? I don't think I've been putting it in at the same time of day. I had a little cramping around the time I SHOULD have been ovulating. Didn't really think anything of it at the time.
Avatar n tn About a year ago, I switched to Nuvaring from the pill. When I started dating my boyfriend, whom I am still dating today, I was on the pill. I switched to the Nuvaring because I thought that it was a more reliable option for me because I would always forget to take the pill. About 5 months after starting to use Nuvaring, things began to change between us. We still love each other very much but he gets a weird feeling like he isn't supposed to be with me.
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?
1297979 tn?1272746390 The nuvaring always made me have weird symptoms. I swear I thought I was pregnant all the time. I never was. But if you had unprotected sex and then put it in... well you had unprotected sex. Birth control isn't going to work until a week after you put it in which is why they say to double up the method. Best thing to do is wait until you're supposed to take it out and take a pregnancy test. Or take one now since you would have had sex 2 weeks ago and it should be pretty accurate.
Avatar n tn how long does it usually take women with irregular periods to conceive without fertility drugs?
Avatar f tn I'm on the birth control method NuvaRing , I was told to put the ring in on Sunday after my cycle. I have to keep it in for 3weeks then take it out and repeat.Some days I forget to put it in or to refill my prescription. I was wondering if when I do remember is it Ok to put it in . For example I forget on Sunday so I put it in on a Thursday ?/Can I do this and still be protected or the method doesn't work if I do this ? All feedback is appreciated.
Avatar f tn I was prescribed NuvaRing on Sept 20th and put it in same day around 12pm. I just had unprotected sex with ejaculation inside last night on thursday sept 28th at approx. 1am. i had it in for the 7 days and now i'm scared I might become pregnant because I am afraid we did not wait long enough. Does anyone know if I could become pregnant or when the NuvaRing becomes effective? I've read online to wait 7 days and we did but we cut it very close.

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 Its not BV unless you are in pain during sex and have a odor. Nuvaring does the same thing with me , Once it is place for the first week you will get a smell and then it will go away . My GYN said its the hormones and bacteria mixing. Nothing to be worried about . Its just an annoyance. You can take Luke warm baths , eat more yogurt to prevent BV or a Yeast infection from starting. I never got BV or Yeast from the odor you smell during the first week on the nuvaring.
801413 tn?1333539276 How long did it take, what method were you using? Estimate from the time the contraception was no longer "effective" (24 hours after the pill, 13 weeks after depo provera, immediately after IUD removal, immediately after stopping condom use) Long-term methods for this poll would include the hormonal IUD, Depo Provera (the shot), and Implanon or other birth control implants.
Avatar f tn your never ever suppose to do that, the hormones will only work for a months use, so you probably will get pregnant!!!!! go to the doctor, get tested!!
Avatar f tn I was on the Nuvaring and took it out around the 23rd of April and had my period like normal. We have had sex every night since then (because I wasn't sure if my ovulation would be normal) and two night ago I started spotting, then yesterday morning the blood flow was heavier, and then stopped and again this morning I started bleeding heavy. I'm having all the pregnancy symptoms (I have a 2 year old so I know how it goes) but all the home tests I take are negative.
Avatar f tn My question is is there anyone else out there who is still experiencing side effects even after stopping the nuvaring? And how long does it take for the numbness and tingling to stop in your left arm and leg, it is quite annoying and not to mention scary.
1580452 tn?1296439703 I've had absolutely horrible menstrual cramps for the past several years, to the point that my doctor prescribed percocet for me to take for every period (I can't take NSAIDs like Aleve, Motrin, etc.). I got a Mirena IUD to see if that would help (it didn't, but I still have the IUD) and have been using Nuvaring for almost two months.
