If your Nuva-ring falls out, how long do you have to put it back in?

Answer 1

Out for less than three hours: If it does slip out, and if it has been out less than three hours, you should still be protected from pregnancy. Rinse NuvaRing® with cool-to-lukewarm (not hot) water and re-insert it as soon as possible, at the latest within three hours. If you've lost NuvaRing®, you must insert a new contraceptive ring and stay on the same schedule you would have followed if you were still using the lost ring.

If NuvaRing® is out of the vagina for more than three continuous hours: During Weeks 1 and 2: If the ring has been out of the vagina for more than three continuous hours during the 1st or 2nd week of use, contraceptive effectiveness may be reduced. Reinsert ring as soon as you remember and use an extra method of birth control, such as male condoms or spermicide, until the ring has been used continuously for seven days.

Answer 2

A nuva ring won't just fall out. Just stick it right back in if that actually happened

Answer 3

Been there, done that.
Three hours. Clean it with dish soap and warm water. Make sure all the soap is rinsed.
This is what the OB-GYN told me to do. For me, the falling out issue got so bad I went on the pill. It liked to come out when I peed, and I had to take it out every time so I wouldn't lose it in the toilet.

Answer 4

Three hours is what I've heard from women who have used it (some like to take it out during sex). That information should come with your prescription or ask your pharmacist.

Answer 5

Read the pamphlet that came with the nuvaring, or google it on the internet, or talk to your doctor about it, or talk to the pharmacist about it.

Answer 6

it can fall out, that's normal.
that's why the doctor will tell you to rinse it off and reinsert it.
