I had a baby almost 7 weeks ago. Friday I went to the doctor and started the Nuva Ring. So I was wondering how long does it take before it becomes effective?

I did read the instruction booklet but since I have not had a period yet because I just had a baby I didn't know if it would be diff.

It depends if you were on birth control prior to going on Nuva Ring. If you were, which you obviously weren't because you just had a baby, then it is effective immediately, assuming you insert the ring on the day when you would start your next pack of pills if you continued staying on the pills.
If you weren't on another form of birth control, it is advised to use another form (ie. condoms) for seven days.
Also, it may take you a while to get your period after having a baby. It took me 84 days. Good luck!

IMG! it does not work right away! i nwas on it and it even says in the directions that it take 7 days! unless you start it on a first day start( first day of you period) ask your doc not these people because they obviously don't know.

It's effective right away but just to be on the safe side i'd use another form for at least 24 hours!

Read the instruction booklet! All the information you need is inside.
