This is going to sound terribly dumb...but
I have a question regarding when exactly
to take out/insert the Nuva ring.
On the directions and online, it says to
remove the ring three weeks on the same
day of the week that it was inserted and
after one week without the ring, insert a
new one — on the same day of the week
that the previous one was inserted in my
last cycle.
SO. I am terrible with math and am
confusing myself. I inserted the ring
today Sept. 18. Does that mean I remove it
Oct. 9 and then re-insert a new one Oct.
16? I just need to make sure I'm doing the
math correctly. This is my first time on
any birth control.
Thank you to all ahead of time and I am
sorry for such a silly question...

Yeah
When I was on it I used the cute little
stickers that come with the package and
stuck them on my calendar. I always
started on Mondays, so on the first monday
I'd put the little sticker and write 'in'
on it, and then on the third monday I'd
put the little sticker and write 'out' on
it.... then a new 'in' one the next
monday, you get the picture.
That's the only way I could keep track of
it.

I work in a pharmacy and you should
receive stickers with your nuva ring every
time. If you are not ask for them the next
time you fill they should be able to
assist you.
