Nuvaring- Inserted One Day After 3 Day Period? Posted: 02-24-07 02:49am
The last couple of months I've been having
very short periods. This may be good, but
lead me to inserting Nuvaring right after
my period stopped. Does this increase
risks by much? Does it make Nuvaring
fail? Must know!
Thanks!

Regardless of when your period stops
shouldn't you be taking it out and waiting
7 days to reinsert the next?? I've used
nuvaring in the past and for example I
inserted my very first ring on a Sunday.
I kept it in for 3 weeks and took it out
on the 3rd weeks sunday. Middle of week
I'd get my period or at times not even
until Saturday. Regardless I HAD to put a
new one in 7days from the time I took the
prior ring out. So I would have had to
put a new ring in that Sunday even if I
was still on my period. Im afraid the way
it sounds like you are doing it that you
may not be protected from pregnancy.

No no no, she's not lowering the
effectiveness!
I assume she's starting her period sooner
in her off-week than you do, and so she
has several "blank" days after her period
is done, but the new on-week hasn't
started yet, so she's putting a new ring
in sooner - ie she's off the ring for less
than 7 days.
Honestly, I see no problem with it. You'll
use more rings a year with way, but other
than that, it doesn't seem uhealthy! It
will not decrease the effectiveness.

Gotcha........I must have gotten a bit
confused the way it was worded. As long
as the ring you have in hasn't been used
for more than an extra week (ie: in for 4
wks total) because I can imagine you'd
have to have the ring in for more than
3wks if your period is so short. If it is
in for more than 4 wks total it is not as
effective.
