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. Confused

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.
