Late Insertion of Nuvaring - Week 1 Posted: 12-08-07 14:36pm
Hi - I just realized I hadn't put my next
ring in this last Thursday after my
period, and it's now Saturday around noon
(so lets say I was late by around 38
hours). How long do I have to use other
methods of birth control? Is it the
entire month? Or just the first week or
so? I don't believe I could be pregnant
because my husband and I haven't had sex
since the day or so before my period last
week.... or could I be? Thanks.

You need to put in the ring and then use
protection for one full week. You were not
protected on Friday and you will not be
protected until next Saturday.
