next week will be my third month using the
nuva ring.
My question to the people that have been
using nuva ring for a while....
I know i'm supposed to protect myself on
the 1st time of use for the 1st
7 days. What about the 2nd month,
third, and so on......After I finish my
week of free-ring, once it's inside, do I
still need to protect myself for those 7
days???
Also, my ob once told me I could leave it
for six months or more to avoid
getting my menstruation, is that true?
Has anyone done that?

I have been using nuvaring for a few
months as well. My dr told me that it is
only the very first 7 days that you need
to protect yourself. It's kind of like
the birth control pills. So you are all
set now, no need for extra protection
against pregnancy :o)
