Nuvo Ring?

Question

I have been on nuvo ring for 4 months. I forgot to take it out a week ago, (so it's been in an extra week). I like the way my periods are lined up, so I was wondering if I could just skip my period and insert a new ring? Am I still protected eventhough it's been an extra week? Will I be protected by skipping my period?

Answer 1

Hey there!

It's called "stacking" and is actually quite common with the NuvaRing. Just take it out and insert a new one. You'll be fine. You can actually do that for up to three months in a row, but after the third month you'll want to have a period.

Good luck! Better safe than sorry, right!

Answer 2

You can skip a period that way actually; and yes you´ll be fully protected; you only bleed due to the supression of hormones in your body; cause you have anovulatory cycles; this means you release no egg so you cannot get pregnant. Your body is tricked it is pregnant. you can have your period the other month by resting your week without the ring.

Good luck! ;D

Answer 3

I would go ahead and insert the new ring, but use back up protection for 2 weeks.

Answer 4

I would suggest you check with your doctor.

HolyMary-how would you know that she can skip her period on this type of birth control if you believe all birth control methods are inherently dangerous? After reading several of your questions and answers it is clear that you are a repressed fundementalist trying very hard to push your own agenda. Stop spreading lies.

Answer 5

I have been on Nuvaring for years, and I use it consistently, continuously, because periods are nasty and I don't want them. After 3 weeks (dutifully marked on my calendar) I pull out the old one and put in a new one.
So yes, you can go ahead and put a new one in right away!
